Public Transport Fares

HC Deb 10 January 1977 vol 923 c366W

Sir J. Eden

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what effect a general 10 per cent. rise in public transport fares would have on the retail price index.

Mr. Maclennan

A 10 per cent. increase in bus and train passenger fares would add just under ¼ per cent. to the retail price index.
