§ 115. Mr. James Hamiltonasked the Minister of Transport, if she will refer to the National Board for Prices and Incomes the recent increases in rail fares, 283W which in some cases are as much as 50 per cent. and 30 per cent.; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mr. John MorrisThese increases in certain rail fares in the Scottish Region of the Railways Board included the raising of some sub-standard weekly season ticket rates in the Glasgow area by from 10 per cent. to 50 per cent. to bring them up to the level in force elsewhere. At the same time, however, 5-day season tickets were introduced at lower prices than the old sub-standard weekly ones. My right hon. Friend sees no case here for a reference to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.
