§ Mr. H. MORRISONasked the Minister of Transport whether he will state the average fare per mile charged to passengers on omnibuses associated with the London Traffic Combine on routes where municipal tramways are operating, and where municipal tramways are not operating?
§ Mr. GOSLINGMy Department has no jurisdiction in regard to the fares charged by the London General Omnibus Company or other omnibus companies operating in London, and I am not in a position to furnish the information desired.
