From Our Parliamentary Correspondent AFTER a promise that the Government hopes to introduce pipeline legislation next session, the promotors of the Trunk Pipelines Bill last week withdrew the measure.
The Bill, which sought Parliamentary approval for a 70-mile pipeline between Canvey Island and Denham, Bucks, had been opposed by the Government because it clashed with the overall legislation which is being produced.
Mr. Richard Wood, the Minister of Power, explained in -the Commons that the Government favoured the private development of pipelines, but intended to produce legislation which would provide control over the work. He was anxious to ensure that everyone affected by a new pipeline had an opportunity of making representations, and he was preparing to consult a long list of interests concerned in order to get their views about, what the best procedure for the future would be.
Opposition M.P.5 expressed fears about allowing pipeline development to remain in private hands, but they agreed with Government supporters that pipelines will play an increasingly important role in Britain's transport system.
Oil, petrol, milk, china clay, coal, sugar, cement and flour—these were some of the goods which, speakers suggested, might one day be carried by pipelines.
"We are about to embark upon something, the application of which is bound to have far reaching results in our national life," declared Wing Commander R. G. Grant-Ferris (Tory, Nantwich), who presented the Bill on behalf of the promotors. "One of the small, but in my view important, things is that it will remove a great many lorries from our roads, with the resultant loss of all those dreadful fumes from which we suffer so much today."
Several examples of pipeline working overseas were quoted during the debate. Mr. R. Gresham Cooke (Tory, Twickenham) spoke of a 150-mile line between Havre and Paris which could transport over 2m. tons of oil a year, while Mr. Gunter (Labour, Southwark) described an American system for transport of coal which was 110 miles long.
Fuel Oil Additive
AN additive for diesel fuel which it is claimed will give a pleasant smell to oil engine exhaust gases, and at the same time reduce the lachrymal effects and nasal irritation, has been introduced by Redex, Ltd.
The new product is known as Redex D.D. (Diesel Deodorant), and is basically Redex to which has been added a deodorizing compound. Test results issued show that when using Redex Dr.D., the carbon monoxide, aldehyde and soot content of an oil-engine exhaust were reduced appreciably.
T.R.T.A. ELECTIONS
AT the annual election of officers of 1-1 the Merseyside and North Wales Division of the Traders Road Transport Association, Mr. L. J. Hopkins, of Rea, Ltd., Liverpool, was elected chairman, Mr. H. Lowe, transport controller of Pilkington Bros., Ltd., St. Helens, was elected vice-chairman and Mr. T. Williams, transport manager of The United Molasses Co., Ltd., Liverpool, was re-elected honorary treasurer.
