§ Mr. N. LINDSAYasked the Minister of Transport whether he will take steps to bring to the notice of the Railway Rates Tribunal the need for a reduction in workmen's rail fares to correspond with the decrease in ordinary fares?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThe standard fares for the conveyance of workmen by railway were fixed by the Railway Rates Tribunal and were brought into operation on 1st January, 1928. They have since been reviewed annually by the Tribunal. The matter is not one in regard to which I am empowered to intervene.
