HC Deb 27 May 1936 vol 312 cc2005-6
55. Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Transport whether any reply has been made to the appeal on behalf of young people for lower fares on the railways in the London area when. going to and from work?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Yes, Sir, and the reply was to the effect that jurisdiction in this matter rests not with me but with the Railway Rates Tribunal.

Mr. KELLY

Will the Minister use his good offices with the Railway Rates Tribunal in regard to these young people, who come to London at very early hours in the morning and wait about until their work starts?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I would willingly use my good offices if I had any, but the tribunal are independent of me.
