LONDON UNDERGROUND FARES

Early day motion 171, tabled 9 January 2001 by Harry Cohen (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House notes that on 29th October 1999, when London Underground announced fare increases for 2000, it said that 'in a year's time, when we announce the Tube fares for 2001, we'll set out for passengers a detailed account of how our money has been spent', adding 'Our passengers deserve to know where the money has gone'; notes that this promise has not been fulfilled with the publication of the 2001 fares details in December; and further notes that as, according to the Capital Transport Campaign, underground passengers paid ú294 million through fares over and above the costs of running the Tube in 1999-2000, the promise to properly account for it should be kept.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Liberal Democrat 2, DUP 1, UUP 1.
