Oral Answers to Questions — British Transport Commission – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 19 Ebrill 1948.
asked the Minister of Transport whether he will give a general direction to the Transport Commissioners that all vehicles, railway carriages and rolling stock shall be run under the name of the commission and not under the trade names of their former owners.
No, Sir.
Then are we to understand that the Commissioners will go on using the trade names of the previous owners?
I could not anticipate what the Commissioners will do. I do not think this is a subject on which I should give a direction.
Is the Minister aware that strong feeling exists over the dishonesty of cashing in on the goodwill of private firms when no price is to be paid for that goodwill?
