§ Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH - COOKEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware of the disability under which a Royal Marine suffers in the matter of reduced railway fares; that he is unable to get a reduced fare on production of a, pass available for six days, whereas any man in the Navy who wants leave for forty-eight hours can obtain a liberty ticket, on production of which at any railway station he is only called upon to pay half the ordinary fare; and whether he will consider the advisability of placing the Marine and the able seaman on an equality in this respect?
§ Mr. McKENNATo enable me to reply to the hon. Member it has been found necessary to communicate with the War Office, and I must, therefore, ask him to be good enough to postpone his question for a week.
