• It is clear that Labour Party managers in Parliament are poised ready to ask the Commons to approve the use of the guillotine to speed the Transport Bill out of committee, the moment that the Bill is compromised, writes our political correspondent. If this happens, the Conservatives, led by their entire Front Bench, will launch an allout attack—but for the moment Mrs. Castle seems easily on top.
At a TSSA meeting at Westminster on Tuesday, her Parliamentary Secretary, Mr. John Morris, said the Tories had blundered by piling amendment on amendment and blunting the points of real controversy. He was triumphantly voicing the Government's apparent belief—and relief—that the Opposition seemed to have bogged down in a welter of words.
Mr. Morris said, in defence of the Bill, that the motorist could breathe a sigh of relief if some heavy lorries left the road, while it was "almost beyond belier' that abnormally heavy lorries paid nothing for their police escorts or the cost of holding up other traffic.
