HC Deb 22 June 1915 vol 72 c1046
31. Mr. BOWERMAN

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will use his influence with such railway companies as have revoked them to restore the reduced fares hitherto allowed to sick workmen and workwomen travelling to and from convalescent homes?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The Railway Executive Committee have recently agreed that cheap travelling facilities to and from convalescent homes should be continued as far as possible, having regard to the military and naval demands for rolling stock in the present emergency.
