HC Deb 10 February 1937 vol 320 cc399-400
49. Mr. Bull

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that no arrangement exists for season tickets at special rates for students travelling through London by omnibus; and whether, in view of the desirability that such facilities should be provided so as to include the central area red omnibuses, he will communicate with the London Passenger Transport Board requesting the institution of such facilities at an early date?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The Board are bound by their Act to charge such fares as will secure that their revenue shall be sufficient to meet all charges upon it. There is power for a local authority to apply to the Railway Rates Tribunal for modification of fares or conditions in particular cases.
