§ 21. Mr. ROWLANDSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, with a view to curtailing holiday traffic in August without loss to the revenue, he will take steps to reduce by one-half during the current month, as also in June and July, the addition of 50 per cent. now charged upon passenger fares?
§ Sir A. GEDDESI am not yet in a position to add to the reply given on this subject on Thursday last to the hon. and gallant Member for Scarborough and Whitby and the hon. Member for West Woolwich, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
§ Mr. ROWLANDSIs there any chance of a decision being arrived at at an early date, as people are wanting to make arrangements for their holidays?
§ Sir A. GEDDESI can assure the hon. Gentleman there will be no unnecessary delay.
