HC Deb 15 May 1924 vol 173 c1544
70. Mr. HAYCOCK

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if, with a view to encouraging aerial transport as well as providing additional convenience to Members of this House, he will grant facilities to enable Members to take advantage of aerial services, providing Members pay the difference between the present allowance and the cost of aerial fares?

Mr. GRAHAM

The number of Members who are so fortunate as to have the option of visiting their constituencies by air instead of by rail is at present so small that it is not worth while, pending further developments, to make special arrangements on this point.

Mr. P. HARRIS

Will the Government consider running an aerial omnibus to take certain Members to their constituencies?

Mr. BECKER

Will the hon. Gentleman consider whether an ordinary omnibus would suffice?
