HC Deb 03 July 1979 vol 969 c553W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why, as a means of conserving fuel, saving the wear and tear on the roads, encouraging people on to the railways and saving subsidies on the railways, he will not introduce a system of tax allowance or subsidies for users of the railways.

Mr. Peter Rees

I will let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
