HC Deb 08 May 1958 vol 587 cc111-2W
43. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether a decision has now been come to regarding the continuance of the 6d. surcharge on London taxi-cab fares.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I have asked the accountant who is investigating the operating costs of London taxi-cabs to make a report to me taking into account costs up to the end of last March. The accountant will need time to analyse the figures after he has received them, and it will be some little while before I am in a position to make a further statement.
