Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

The uselessly swift consideration of transport managers' licensing by Parliament came in for sharp criticism by the TRTA's director, Mr. H. R, Featherstone, When he spoke at Nottingham on Thursday of last week. He declared:

-Every transport man must feel sick with disgust this morning. To the fundamental and far reaching concept of the transport manager's licence, affecting the lives of tens of thousands, the House of Commons, because of the guillotine, devoted precisely eight minutes. Eight minutes in which to debate who is to hold a licence, what the qualifications are, when it applies, the circumstances in which it can be taken away. Eight minutes to unravel a puzzle on which the Bill itself provokes many questions, but provides few answers."
