§ 21. Mr. BOWERMANasked the Minister of Munitions whether the privilege of munition workers' railway tickets is granted only to men working in controlled establishments and not to those employed in uncontrolled establishments; and, if so, whether, in view of the fact that munition workers in uncontrolled establishments are engaged in the same necessary work and are subject to the same restrictions under the Munitions of War Acts as those employed in controlled establishments, he will take steps to concede the privilege to all munition workers?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MUNITIONS DEPARTMENT (Dr. Addison)The conditions under which these tickets are issued are determined by the Railway Executive Committee. I understand that it is considered that to extend the privilege in the manner suggested would make any limitation of it practically impossible.
