HC Deb 01 July 1964 vol 697 c229W
45. Mr. Longhlin

asked the Minister of Transport if he will give a general direction to the British Railways Board, in the public interest, that no increases in cheap fares or withdrawal of cheap fares shall take place on lines where proposals of closure have been issued until such time as he has considered the proposal.

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

No. This is a matter which must be left to the Board's commercial judgment.
