Re Phantom. Rear Foot Brake Groans.

Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}8/E5.6.31

Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GHW12AD29.5.31 the point referred to seems to be extremely important in enabling us to overcome a complaint at very small cost.

It seems to me to be something which ought to be standardised as quickly as possible and I should like to hear as to whether action is being taken in this direction.
