Government's undertaking to scrutinise any proposals made by the Executive; and if he will refer the fare increases to the National Board for Prices and Incomes.

Mr. Mulley

Under the Transport (London) Act, 1969 the operation of bus services in Greater London is a matter for the London Transport Executive, subject to the policy control of the Greater London Council. The Government are, of course, concerned in the question of whether any general price increases proposed by the Executive conform to the prices and incomes policy, but I am not aware of any firm proposals of this kind which warrant a reference to the National Board for Prices and Incomes at this stage.
