§ 72. Mr. ROWLANDSasked the Minister of Munitions whether arrangements can be made for munition workers who are taking holiday at the period appointed, and who desire to visit relatives some distance away, to be supplied with railway tickets for themselves and wives at the usual munition workers' rate on producing their cards?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe matter will receive consideration, but I understand that there are great difficulties in the grant of any facilities which are likely to increase the existing pressure on the railways.
§ Mr. ROWLANDSWill the hon. Gentleman say how it can increase the traffic on the railways, as the munition workers will only be travelling when the holidays 2272 are granted by the Ministry, and will special terms be offered therefore to the munition workers?
§ Dr. ADDISONIt is not within the province of the Ministry to do so.
