HC Deb 01 June 1967 vol 747 cc53-4W
44. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many attacks have been made in recent years on employees working on public service vehicles; and if there is any evidence of a decline in the number of assaults since the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board was established in August, 1964.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I regret that this information is not available.

45. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the large number of assaults made on employees working on public service vehicles in London, he will agree to meet representatives of the London Transport Board and the Transport and General Workers' Union to discuss this matter.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I have had correspondence with the Board and the Union on this matter and would consider sympathetically a request for a meeting.
