3. Mr. T. WILSONasked the Minister of Munitions if he will arrange for work men who are employed at munition works and in controlled establishments, and who live at considerable distances from their homes, to travel to their homes during the Easter holidays at cheap rates?
§ Dr. ADDISONIn view of the great pressure on the railways I regret that I am unable to press for further special railway facilities of the kind desired. I should, however, state that an arrange- 1430 ment has been made with the Railway Executive whereby the issue has been arranged of a limited number of permits to enable married munition workers living away from their homes to return there occasionally at week-ends. The method of applying this arrangement is at present under consideration, and every effort will be made to bring it into operation as soon as possible.
