§ Mr. Bryant Godman Irvineasked the Minister of Transport whether the proposed increases in parking charges at stations on the Southern Region of British Railways are in accord with the Government's prices and incomes policy; and if he will refer these proposals to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.
§ Mr. MarshI have no evidence that the increases being made following a review of parking charges at Southern Region stations are inconsistent with the Government's prices and incomes policy, and I see no case for referring to the National Board for Prices and Incomes purely local charges of this kind.
