§ 24. Dr. HOWITTasked the Minister of Transport whether any increases in fares or restrictions of services have been put into effect since the London Passenger Transport Board assumed control?
Mr. STANLEYI am informed by the Board that, apart from minor adjustments rendered necessary by the amalgamation 1202 of services previously operated by different persons, there have been no increases in fares or restrictions of services, and that the adjustments of fares have more generally taken the form of a reduction than of an increase.
§ Commander MARSDENThe hon. Gentleman says more often than not changes have meant a decrease. Does that mean that occasionally there has been an increase?
Mr. STANLEYYes. I said apart from minor adjustments rendered necessary by the amalgamation of services previously operated by different persons.
