HC Deb 23 March 1922 vol 152 cc697-8W
Lieut.-Colonel WILLEY

asked the Home Secretary if, in view of the steady fall in the cost of manufacture of motor cars, drivers' wages, and cost-of-living figures, he can state what steps he is contemplating towards a reduction of the present burden on the travelling public in London by the present 50 per cent. increase on fares which is advertised as having been imposed by taxi-drivers with his authority?

Mr. SHORTT

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to a question on this subject on the 14th February last.
