HC Deb 28 March 1917 vol 92 c397
77. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether arrangements have yet been made to issue week-end tickets to the men working away from their homes?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. George Roberts)

Arrangements are being made for the issue through the Ministry of Munitions, as an experiment, of 20,000 vouchers a week to enable the munition workers to whom they are issued to travel home at week-ends at reduced rates.

Mr. ROWLANDS

Am I to understand that vouchers are being issued?

Mr. ROBERTS

The arrangement is with the Ministry of Munitions, and the whole matter is in their hands now.
