HC Deb 27 June 1968 vol 767 c115W
61. Mr. Drayson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will exercise his powers under the London Cab Act, 1968, to control fares for journeys between London and London Airport, Heathrow.

Mr. Callaghan

Before the rates of fare for journeys of more than 6 miles can be prescribed, account will need to be taken of the outcome of the application from the London cab trade for an increase in the standard rates of fare for shorter journeys. The latter has been referred to the National Board for Prices and Incomes. I hope to be in a position to act on both matters shortly after receiving the Board's report.
