• Mr. Marsh this week turned down a request that the law should be altered so that, when bus fares are increased, 30 days notice of application should be given by the Traffic Commissioners to all local authorities.

He told Mr. Peter Bessell (Liberal, Bodmin), who raised the idea in the Commons, that under the existing regulations Commissioners had full discretion to give more than the 14 days' statutory minimum period of notice for the hearing of fares applications. He was informed that in practice local authorities now normally received four weeks' notice or more of applications. He saw no present need for amending the regulations, said the Minister.
