§ 65. Mr. GILBERTasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the proposal that the railway companies should grant special cheap fare facilities during the slack hours and days of traffic during each week; whether this proposal has been considered by all 995 or any of the companies, or by his Department; and, if not, will he ask the companies to do so in view of the great demand for cheaper tickets for families and children during the holiday season?
§ Sir ERIC GEDDESI would refer the hon. Member to the reply to the hon. Member for Wood Green on the 7th June. The matter is under consideration in conjunction with the railway companies.
