§ 60. Mr. A. J. Irvineasked the Minister of Transport whether he will consult commercial and industrial transport undertakings on the possibility of removing their administrative headquarters and divisional offices to centres of relatively high unemployment such as Liverpool, where this will not result in any loss of efficiency, and consult such other undertakings as are already in such areas on the advisability of remaining there.
§ Mr. MarplesNo. I do not consider that any special consultation of the kind proposed is needed in the case of transport undertakings, who are, of course, aware of the Government's general objective to secure a more even spread of economic activity throughout the country.
