THE Minister of Transport was urged in the House of Commons last week to bring buses registered as private cars to carry workpeople within the regulations governing public service vehicles.
Mr. Ernest Davies (Lab., Enfield East) said that concerns in increasing numbers were registering passenger vehicles with 12 or more seats as private cars to transport employees without charging fares, thereby avoiding .Section 19 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, and the Conditions of Fitness Regulations. He alleged that some of the vehicles were in poor condition and were a danger.
Mr. G. R. FL Nugent, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport, replied that there was no evidence that such vehicles constituted a danger, and there was no power w bring Ulm within the provisions covering public service vehicles. He did not think there was a case for doing so.

The corporation are reported to be strongly opposed to the closure of the depot, where 105 men are employed.
