§ 61. Mr. LYLEasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the fall in the cost of petrol, and also the decline in rubber and other running charges, he will consider the desirability of restoring taxicab fares to something like their pre-War rates?
§ Mr. SHORTTI am unable to propose any alteration of the fares at present, but the matter will be further considered later if the conditions continue to improve.
§ Mr. SHORTTI am acting on the advice of those whom I consulted.
