§ Mr. Nabarroasked the Minister of Transport what sums of money still remain outstanding for payment as compensation to road haulage undertakings nationalised under the Transport Act, 1947; and when such sums will be paid.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydCompensation ascertained and outstanding at 31st October, 1952, amounted to approximately £2.2 million and is expected to be paid in the near future. The total amount of the Commission's outstanding liability cannot yet be determined. In some cases, determination by the Transport Arbitration Tribunal of the amount payable is required; in others, final agreement between the Commission and the transferor cannot be reached until there has been a decision on a matter which is before the courts.
