Vol. 40 No. 18

Road Transport Bill, 1931—First Stage.

I move that leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide for the regulation and control of the carriage of passengers by road and to confer on certain companies authority to carry passengers and merchandise by road, and to make provision for other matters connected with the matters aforesaid.

At last—at long last!

We are evidently becoming popular over there.

Better late than never.

The Ministry has awakened! It is wonderful, the power of a general election.

When will the Bill be circulated?

The Deputies opposite having now aroused themselves, I may say it will be circulated some time before it is to be read a Second Time.

Is it intended to pass the Bill during the present session?

We hope to. Perhaps the Second Reading could be taken next Wednesday.

The Minister has a habit of letting six months elapse between the First and Second Stages.

The Deputy will not have any reason to complain on those grounds after this.

Leave to introduce, granted. Second Stage fixed for Wednesday, 2nd December.
