§ 52. Mr. Hamlingasked the Minister of Transport whether she is aware that the London Transport Board and British Railways charge different fares for the same length of journey in the London area; and whether she will issue general directions to these authorities to discontinue the practice.
§ Mr. SwinglerDetails of London Transport and British Rail fares, within the limits authorised by the Transport Tribunal, are a matter for the Boards concerned, not for Ministerial direction. I understand that most fares are the same for journeys of the same length.
