TAXIMETER CAB FARES.

HC Deb 07 March 1933 vol 275 cc990-1

38. Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

asked the Home Secretary if he can make a statement regarding the proposed increase in taximeter cab fares?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Representations were made to me by the taxicab proprietors urging an increase in taxicab fares and, after the views and specific proposals of the various sections of the trade, which were submitted to me at my request, had been considered, I decided to convene a conference of all the parties concerned. That conference has recently been held and the whole question is now under my consideration in the light of the various representations which have been made.
