HC Deb 12 December 1968 vol 775 cc188-9W
47. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that, as the result of acts of violence by gangs of youths, more than 400 members of bus crews operating from the Brixton garage of London Transport have refused to work after 9 p.m. on Saturday nights; and whether he will arrange for motorised police to patrol the bus routes concerned so that offenders will be apprehended, bus crews protected and normal services restored.

Mr. Callaghan

The Commissioner of Police is aware of this problem. He has been in consultation with the London Transport Board and has taken suitable action to deal with incidents.
