A strong plea for the introduction of the Transport Bill this session was made to the aeting-Prime Minister today by a deputation representing the Motor Unions, Chambers of Commerce, Motor Traders’ Association, Master Carriers’ Association, motor omnibus companies, and motor service proprietors. Mr A. B. Knight, representing the service proprietors, said that they were satisfied that the co-ordination of all transport was essential to avoid waste, reckless competition, md undue use of che highways, and proper legislation was necessary. Mr Ransom said the matter would be referred to Cabinet. It had not intended to bring down the Transport Bill this year as it was regarded as contentious. The present was a difficult time to bring down such legislation. Mr Knigjit said that it was not a matter. Mr Ransom: We do not regard it as that, but the Government must stand behind the Bill it brings down. A deputation urged Mr Ransom to give a definite reply, but he declined at that stage.
