§ 24. Sir ARTHUR FELLasked the Minister of Transport whether it is the fact that railway fares in this country in numerous cases remain the same as they were before the War; as the expenses of running trains have gone up in every case, if he will say why this is allowed to continue; and what steps he proposes to take to remedy it?
§ Sir E. GEDDESRailway fares throughout the country have been increased generally by 50 per cent., though the increase has not extended to workmen's fares, and the principal exception is the case of the short distance fares on the London Electric Railways in regard to which there is a Bill before the House promoted by the proprietors.
