§ Sir M. Galpernasked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps, similar to those in the case of the London Transport Board, to empower himself to require city corporations such as Glasgow not to raise bus and underground fares during the remainder of this year and to reimburse the corporations the money which would have come from higher fares; and if he will institute an inquiry into the public transport and traffic problems in Glasgow and the west of Scotland to be carried out by his Department in consultation with the corporation of Glasgow and other interested bodies.
§ Mr. SwinglerNo. With regard to the second part of the Question, the overall transport problems of the Glasgow area are already being examined in the Greater Glasgow Transportation Study.
