§ 107. Wing-Commander Bullusasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has yet any statement to make regarding the proposed revision of London taxicab fares.
§ Mr. EdeI have recently received Sir Alan Rae Smith's report on the costs of running taxis in London and it is under consideration.
§ 108. Mr. Gibsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in order to prevent difficulties arising between the passengers and taxicab drivers over the temporary increase of 3d. in charges, he will arrange that a notice, in larger print, be placed in all taxicabs on the window which divides the passengers' and the drivers' seats.
§ Mr. EdeAs I indicated in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Dart-ford (Mr. Dodds) on 4th May, I am not aware of any pactical difficulties arising over this simple notice. In any case, most people who use London taxis must by this time know about the increase.
