Mr. Coldriekasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware that the Transport Commission has increased the rents for taxi-stands at Temple Meads Station, Bristol, and changed the basis of the agreement without consultation with the taxi-owners; and if he will take this fact into consideration in the course of his current inquiries.
§ Mr. WatkinsonRentals and agreements with cab proprietors at individual stations are matters of management falling within the responsibilities of the Commission.
The Central Transport Consultative Committee is now considering the general question of the tenancy cab system at railway stations and if the hon. Member considers that a knowledge of the detailed arrangements at Temple Meads Station would help it to form a general judgment I suggest he sends them the information.
