HC Deb 16 March 1927 vol 203 cc2001-2
52. Mr. OAKLEY

asked the Minister of Transport if the Railway Rates Tribunal have fixed the scale of charges under the Railway Act, 1921; if so, what are the mileage rates for ordinary passengers; the rates for season ticket holders; the rates for traders' season tickets; and the scale of charges for workmen's tickets?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)

The Railway Rates Tribunal have provisionally approved scales of charges for ordinary passengers, for workmen's tickets, and for ordinary and traders' season tickets. It is not possible within the limits of an answer to a Parliamentary question to give details of the charges so approved, but they will be found in the schedules deposited by the railway companies with the Tribunal and in the Judgment of the Tribunal dated 30th December, 1926.

Mr. RHYS

Can representations be made on the question of workmen's fares?

Colonel ASHLEY

I think the decision has been arrived at.
