HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 c1196W
Mr. REMER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the dissatisfaction created among the working classes by the continuance of the 50 per cent. increase in railway fares; and when the Government intend to fulfil their pledges to place railway fares on a normal basis?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I am afraid that I cannot add to the reply given on this subject to the hon and gallant Member for the Finchley Division of Middlesex on the 13th February. I may, however, remind the hon. Gentleman that the 50 per cent. increase does not apply to workmen's tickets.
