l‘TAIOR GLYN desired to know ..131.1whether the Government intended to introduce legislation at an early date to give effect to the Royal Commission's recommendations in regard to road-transport vehicles obtaining a licence before employment on the public highways, also in regard to the suggested vehicle duty and the regulation of wage rates and conditions of labour as affecting the drivers. Mr. Morrison stated in a written reply that he assumed the question related to the recommendations 65, 66 and 67 of the final report of the Royal Commission on Transport. It was unlikely that an early opportunity would present itself for introducing legislation for the further regulation and control of vehreles engaged in the transport of goods by road, but full consideration would be given to those recommendations when the time came for revising or extending the powers of the Traffic Commissioners appointed under the Road Traffic Act.
