HL Deb 27 April 1989 vol 506 c1404WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ask British Rail to extend beyond 30th April the agreement providing for reduced fares for arts workers, so that there may be time to consider terms for renewal of the contract.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Transport (Lord Brabazon of Tara)

No. This is a management matter for the British Railways Board, who made their proposals in January, so as to give ample time for discussion.
