HC Deb 25 June 1947 vol 439 cc73-4W
Mr. Battley

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the raising of the school-leaving age to 15 years and the consequent hardship to many families, he will consider the desirability of immediately extending the age to 15 years for children's half-fares on all forms of passenger transport.

Mr. Barnes

The matter is under consideration, but I am not as yet in a position to announce any decision.
