Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am informed by the London Passenger Transport Board that, exclusive of railwaymen employed on joint lines, the total number of staff employed when it began operations was 70,500, and that at the 18th May, 1935, the total was 76,802. A number of additional undertakings have been transferred to the Board since it first began operations.
