IT appears that the standing corn' mittee of the House of Commons which is to consider the Transport (Amendment) Bill is to have a Government majority of two.

The Speaker said last week that by standing orders, each standing committee should consist of 20 members and it had always been customary for membership to reflect party strengths.

Hopes of passing the Bill thus recede. There is even a risk that some railway partisans among the Socialists may try to use the opportunity to hobble the C-licensee. Indeed, Mr. C. C. Poole, Socialist M.P. for Perry Barr, said in Birmingham, last Sunday, that he would advocate that time should be found for the further stages of the Bill. During the committee stage he would try to defeat the proposal to extend the free hauliers' radius to 60 miles and to restrict the activities of ancillary users.

He would aim to compel C-licensees to prove need and to have their radius of operation limited to a mileage based on the requirementi of each individual.
