HC Deb 15 December 1947 vol 445 cc285-6W
117. Dr. Segal

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the dissatisfaction that exists in the areas operated by the Ribble Bus Services at the continued issue of weekly workmen's tickets since the introduction of the five-day week; and what are the difficulties now in the way of restoring the former daily workmen's tickets.

Mr. Barnes

No representations on this matter have been made to the licensing authority. These tickets were introduced to give priority to workpeople using the services regularly, and the need for such priority and, therefore, for the weekly tickets still exists. Those who work a five-day week can get a ten-journey ticket.
