HC Deb 29 June 1966 vol 730 cc265-6W
56. Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Minister of Transport what publicity she gives to the membership and proceedings of the central and area transport users' consultative committees, apart from publicity connected with the discontinuance or reduction of transport services.

Mr. John Morris

When my right hon. Friend makes appointments to the committees she issues notices to the Press giving the details.

The Central Committee and the Committees for Scotland and for Wales and Monmouthshire make annual reports to her of their work. These are laid before both Houses and are on sale to the public.

57. Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Minister of Transport if she will make it a condition of the appointment of a proportion of members of area transport users' consultative committees that they should be regular holders of second-class season tickets on the railways.

Mr. John Morris

No, but as part of the review my right hon. Friend announced yesterday in Answer to a Question by my hon. Friend, the Member for Willesden, West (Mr. Pavitt), she will consider whether the representation on the committees of the interests of regular railway passengers ought to be improved.
