§ 45. Mr. Stonehouseasked the Minister of Transport whether he will introduce legislation to extend the half-fares concession on public transport to the school-leaving age of 15 years.
§ Vice-Admiral Hughes HallettNo. The granting of fares concessions is a matter for the commercial judgment of the operator, subject to the approval of the appropriate controlling authority. Almost all operators already give cheaper fares for travel to and from school up to 15 years.
