76. Mr. W. R. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport if he will furnish a list of towns and districts in England and Wales to which the Road Service Licences (Appeals) Order (No. 9), 1933, is applicable.

Mr. Braithwaite

The following is the informationThe Order in question applied to licences granted in 1933 for 34 regular bus services between Manchester and District and Blackpool, and also to 61 groups of excursions and tours from Manchester and District to Abergale, Alsop-en-le-Dale, Ambleside, Barrow, Blackpool, Chester, Colwyn Bay, Fleetwood, Hebden Bridge, Holcombe Brook, Kendal, Keswick, Liverpool, Llandudno, Morecambe, Prestatyn, Rhyl, Silverdale, Southport and Uttoxeter.

77. Mr. W. R. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport the date upon which the vehicle journey allowance imposed by the Road Service Licences (Appeals) Order (No. 9), 1933, was last reviewed in respect of the Manchester district.

Mr. Braithwaite

So far as I am aware, the only alteration since 1933 in the vehicle allowances on services affected by this Order was an increase of 24 per cent. made in 1950 on 38 services from Manchester and district to Blackpool for the period of the illuminations. An appeal has been lodged with my right hon. Friend which raises the issue afresh on a number of excursions from Manchester to some of the destinations to which the Order of 1933 applied.
