HC Deb 03 May 1928 vol 216 c1877
71. Captain GARRO-JONES

asked the Minister of Transport how many complaints, official and unofficial, regarding increases in passenger fares he has forwarded to the companies concerned for their observations?

Colonel ASHLEY

I have received representations on this subject from five local councils and four associations and have in each case forwarded a copy to the companies concerned.

Captain GARRO-JONES

Has the right hon. Gentleman received a reply in any special case, and, if so, will he publish it?

Colonel ASHLEY

No, because my communications to them are so recent.

Captain GARRO-JONES

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that some weeks ago he stated that he had forwarded a communication to one of the omnibus companies? Has he received any reply to that communication?

Colonel ASHLEY

If the hon. and gallant Member will put down another question giving me definitely the name of the company to which he refers, I will give him an answer.
