who, between trips, wish to leave their vehicles at French ferry ports, have to 'apply to the Ministere des Travaux Publics, des Transports et du Tourisme (Service du' Controlc des Transports• Routiers), 244, Boulevard St. Germain, Paris, for the necessary authorization, An order to this effect• was made this week.
The number of'permits to be granted this year will be restricted to the same scale as in 1950, when permission was given by the French authorities without the conditions to be imposed this year.
Applications should reach Paris 30 days before the date of departure of the first trip. The following particulars should be given:-Name and address of operator; itinerary and halts; number of trips to be run in 1951; dates of trips; name of French porf at which the coach is to be left.
Coaches will not be allowed to remain unless approval is given. Each vehicle upon arrival and return to Dunkirk, Calais or Boulogne must report with its occupants to the local police station. Route sheets (fcuilles de route) are still necessary.
Because the authorizations will be limited, British operators are advised to keep in close touch with their French agents, so that alternative transport arrangements may readily be made. The Federation Nationale des Transports Routiers, 44, rue de la Bienfaisance, Paris, 8e, will give information about French operators able to undertake transport services.
