HC Deb 22 June 1938 vol 337 cc1096-7W
Mr. Bull

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the public demand, he will press for the abolition or modification of the practice of cutting down the accommodation in trains after 10 a.m.?

Mr. Burgin

I have no evidence which would justify me in pressing the railway companies and the London Passenger Transport Board in this matter. My hon. Friend will appreciate that the jurisdiction in regard to services or facilities in the London transport area is vested in the Railway Rates Tribunal on application being made to them by a local authority.
