The Minister of Transport (Mr Veitch) announces that an Order-in-Council has been passed altering the motor regulations. It has been discovered that motor coaches not constructed for the purpose are plying in certain districts in competition with motor omnibuses which are specially designed for the carriage of passengers. The premium on the first is only £3 and on the latter £l2 upwards. The regulations now provide for the former paying the same rate as the buses according to seating capacity, with a proviso that the fees of vehicles used in the carriage of school children, picnic parties, sports clubs, and never available for passenger hire by the general public, shall remain at £3 where they have up to ten seats capacity, with an addition of 5s for every seat over that number, the driver not being counted.
