§ Sir Richard Glynasked the Minister of Transport if he will arrange for the publication of an illustration and of 53W other details of the proposed new buses and the new bus-trailers which are intended to carry luggage, prams and similar objects after the closure of branch railway lines.
§ Mr. MarplesMy proposed new requirements for bus trailers and their towing vehicles have already been circulated to interested parties and to the Press. The necessary changes in Regulations will be laid before the House. Illustrations of one prototype luggage trailer demonstrated three weeks ago have already been published. A new design of bus is not required, because existing types can be modified to draw trailers. The requirements will give operators scope to use a variety of trailers according to their particular needs, wherever these may arise.
