HC Deb 16 June 1952 vol 502 cc59-60W
59. Mr. Ernest Davies

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can now announce what changes will be made in London Transport fares to bring them into line with those outside the London area.

71. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Minister of Transport what reductions are being made in London fares; and what is the total cost of such reductions.

76. Mr. Beswick

asked the Minister of Transport what adjustments will be made to London fares to bring them into line with provincial fares.

77. Sir H. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now make a statement about train and omnibus fares in the London Transport area.

86. Captain Ryder

asked the Minister of Transport if a decision has been reached regarding transport fares in the London area; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I would refer hon. Members to the statement on these matters which I made today at the end of Questions.

64. Mr. Ernest Davies

asked the Minister of Transport the terms of reference to the Central Transport Consultative Committee in regard to railway fares outside London.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

When the hon. Member has studied the statement which I made at the end of Questions today, he will, I think, agree that no reference to the Central Transport Consultative Committee will be necessary.

75. Mr. Beswick

asked the Minister of Transport what arrangements will be made to repay to London passengers the excess fares collected during the period under which his Department and the Transport Commission have been reviewing this matter.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

There is no intention of making retrospective modifications in fares. The statement which I made after Questions today shows that the hardships to which the attention of the House has been drawn will be substantially relieved.
