§ 90. Mr. P. Robertsasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that there is a large body of opinion in Sheffield which feels that the tramway fares should not be increased until all reasonable methods of economy and administration have been instituted; and whether he has yet received the report of an inquiry recently held regarding tramway fares in Sheffield.
§ Mr. MaclayPublic notice was given in local newspapers of the proposed increases in tramway fares, and representations in regard thereto were invited. No such representations were made. I have received the report of the inquiry and, after full consideration, have authorised the corporation to make the increases proposed as from 9th March.
