TRANSPORT CONTROL

AN EARLY MEASURE ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE MINISTER One of the Government’s earliest legislative measures during the approachlng session of Parliament will be a Transport Bill, according to a statement made by the Minister of Transport (Hon. W. A. Veitch) yesterday morning, when replying to a deputation from the motor-body builders, which urged the appointment of one of their members to the Transport Advisory Council. __ _ _ The Minister stated that he had no intention at present of altering the constitution of the council. While recognising that the interests represented by the deputation were an important part of the Dominion transport question, he felt it would be wiser not to make any changes until the Transport Bill had been dealt with by Parliament. As the session would be opening in a few days, he hoped to Introduce the legislatton referred to at an early stage, and after It had been passed by the House—he was confident it would be—the whole question of transport organisation and representation could be y e '° pe ° ed - * the meantime, he was rel l u . c^ n . tl - v (> . CO h 7' pelled to say that he cou d. not see Ms way to make 'any additions to tne present council.
