§ Sir W. Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when it is intended to discontinue or to reduce the 6d. surcharge on taxi fares, in view of the fall in fuel prices.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerI have recently received, and am now considering, an interim report from the accountant whom I invited to make an investigation into the trading results and operating costs of the London taxi-cab trade. The price of fuel is one only of the factors that must be taken into account.
