§ 72. Mr. CURRIEasked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been drawn to the increased costs thrown upon university and training college students travelling to Edinburgh and Glasgow from remote places in Scotland; and whether he will consider the practicability of securing for them privileged railway tickets, as many of them are ill able to afford war rates for passenger tickets?
§ Mr. MUNROI have been in communication with the Board of Trade on this matter. I am informed that the question has already been carefully considered, but that it has not been found practicable in present circumstances to make any concession in favour of students attending educational institutions.
