HC Deb 11 June 1951 vol 488 c164W
96. Mr. Kaberry

asked the Minister of Transport in what material respects the recent authorisation issued by him approving an increase in passenger fares to be charged by the Leeds Corporation Trans port Department differed from the proposals submitted by that authority; and what was the date when the application to increase such fares was made.

Mr. Barnes

I authorised all the proposals as to tram fares, except the proposal that there should be no workmen's return fare for journeys for which the single fare would be 3d. In this case, my authorisation provided for a workmen's return fare of 5d. The application to me was made on 7th February.
