This temporary branch of the Board of Trade was established in August 1907, following upon the Report of the Royal Commission on Locomotion and Transport in London, 1905, to investigate and advise upon transport problems in London and solutions proposed to them, to collect information and statistics bearing on those problems and to prepare an Annual Report to be laid before Parliament.
The branch was disbanded in June 1916 and its duties divided between the Road Board, the Local Government Board and the Railway department of the Board of Trade.
