HC Deb 17 May 1922 vol 154 cc370-1
90. Colonel NEWMAN

asked the Home Secretary whether he has received any communication from any society, association, or union that represents the travelling public to the effect that the fares for travelling by taxi-cab should be reduced in view of the fall in running and operating expenses; and what answer has he been able to make?

Mr. SHORTT

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part therefore does not arise.

Colonel NEWMAN

If I put down a question for next Monday, will the right hon. Gentleman tell me then what information he has got?

Mr. SHORTT

If any communication is made to me in the meantime, I will answer it.

Colonel NEWMAN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that he 'has got one already?
