£22,250,000 Increase In Working Costs, Says Minister Of Transport, Explains

Why All Rail Fares Have Been Raised By 10 Per Cent.

Village

A TEN PER CENT. increase in all railway charges,|| iERININ UN including passenger fares, took effect from May 1, the Minister of Transport, Captain Euan Wallace, announced in the House of Commons.

In support of his decision the Minister said increased working costs of £22,250,000 had been proved; this in- cluded £9,750,000 for higher labour costs. The 10 per cent. was expected to produce £18,000,000 in a full year.

Opposition criticism was voiced by G. Ridley (Lab., Clay Cross), who is an official of the Railway Clerka' Association. He asked why the Railway Rates | ********

********* Tribunal had not been consult- Jed, and was told that there was

no time.

"Nonsense" eries greeted this reply. Another Labpur M.P., Mr. Wilmot (Kennington). polnted out that by abolishing the Fiducial protection of the Tribunal the railway users' in- terests were not represented.

He was informed by the Minister that the only point at issue was whether the increased costs had been incurred. He was satisfied they had, there was no argument about it.

Mr. Ridley, and Labour cheers, then gave notice that he would again raise the question at an early oppor- tunity.

What They Now Pay Meanwhile, here ate examples of how the 10 per cent. Increases will affect the average travelier on the main line railways;
