§ MR. J. ROWLANDS (on behalf of Mr. CAUSTON, Southwark, W.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether all Railway Companies are now printing the fares charged upon their tickets; and, if not, which Companies do not, and what are their reasons for not complying with the Law?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Sir M. HICKS BEACH, Bristol, W.)In reply to the question of my hon. Friend the Member for Cheltenham, I stated on Monday that 42 Railway Companies are now printing the fares charged on their tickets. In the case of the other companies I have fixed the 1st January, 1891, as the date on and after which this should be done. I fixed this time in consequence of the great number of tickets, amounting to many millions, in the stock of those companies.
