§ 14. Colonel GOODMAN (for Mrs. TATE)asked the Minister of Transport whether he will take steps to ensure that the privileges of early omnibuses, and workmen's fares, shall be retained in all areas where tramcars are to be superseded by trolley vehicles?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Oliver Stanley)Under the existing law the substitution of a system of trolley vehicles for a tramway requires the sanction of Parliament, and hitherto it has been the practice of Parliament to include in the special Acts authorising such substitutions provisions applying to the trolley vehicle undertaking the statutory obligation previously imposed on the tramway undertaking to run proper and sufficient services for work people at reduced fares.
