817. GENERAL MATTERS OF POLICY
1. Position of Schemes still to be
submitted
The Chairman referred to the revised statement of November 24th
attached as Appendix 'C', giving the position in regard to outstanding
submissions for diesel schemes and it was noted that in some cases the dates
for submission to the General Manager had been considerably put back.
The Chairman stated that, whilst it was appreciated that considerable
additional information was now required, it was very essential that
submissions should be made quickly in order that our requirement of vehicles
could be included in the 1962 Building Programme and asked for special
attention to be given to the matter, particularly in respect of the
Manchester schemes. The position still remained that the Commission
would not accept block orders for vehicles for inclusion in the building
programmes but required separate submissions for requirements for individual
schemes.
In regard to parcels receipts, Mr.Roberts stated that a system of
counting had now been evolved and would be applied in January to the
Manchester Part 4 scheme and if successful would be applied to other
schemes. The Chairman said that if a scheme appeared financially
sound from passenger receipts only, it could, in order to avoid delay, be
submitted without waiting for parcels receipts.
