HC Deb 13 August 1940 vol 364 c631W
Mr. Bartlett

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will authorise that a soldier proceeding on ordinary leave shall in no case be called upon to spend more than half of one week's pay towards the railway fare; the balance, if any, being provided out of public funds?

Mr. Eden

A soldier may receive two free warrants a year for leave journeys, and, if given leave at other times, he has the concession of making the return journey at the cost of the single fare. I regret that I am unable to extend these concessions.
