§ Mr. Spenceasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to ensure prompt alteration to all London taxicab fare meters; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. SummerskillThe alteration of meters is primarily a matter for manufacturers and the trade, but the structure of the new fare tariff will facilitate the task of recalibration. Manufacturers have submitted sample meters to the British Standards Institution for testing with a view to conversion of all meters well before the end of the year.
