HC Deb 16 December 1970 vol 808 cc336-7W
78. Mr. Prentice

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy in connection with the report of the National Board for Prices and Incomes on the decision of the Greater London Council to raise London Transport fares.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

Responsibility for fares in London rightly rests with the London Transport Executive and the Greater London Council.

111. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek powers to enable him to require that fare increases are not made by London Transport without prior consideration and approval by the Transport Tribunal.

Mr. Graham Page

No.
