HC Deb 01 November 1965 vol 718 cc125-6W
83. Sir M. Galpern

asked the Minister of Transport, in view of his proposed payment of £3.85 million to the London Transport Board during the remainder of 1965 as compensation for loss in revenue caused by the postponement of fare increases planned by the Board for this year, why he will not give support to the Corporation of Glasgow along similar lines to meet this year's deficit.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The special reasons for the temporary measure which the Government have taken in the case of the London Transport Board were explained in my Answer of 23rd June to my hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, West (Mr. Popplewell). These do not apply to other passenger transport undertakings.
