HC Deb 17 March 1969 vol 780 c20W
65. Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Minister of Transport if he will issue a general direction to the London Passenger Transport Board that when the sixpenny coin is withdrawn from circulation in 1971 they shall not increase the minimum fare on the London underground to one shilling in excess of 100 per cent. on the present minimum fare.

Mr. Marsh

No. On the assumption that the Transport (London) Bill becomes law, the general level and structure of fares on the services of the proposed London Transport Executive will, subject to overall Government policies, at the relevant time be a matter for the Greater London Council.
