§ 37. Mr. ALBION RICHARDSONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is prepared to amend the new Regulations relating to the issue and the renewal of season tickets so as to give to men who were serving in the Army or Navy prior to 1st January, 1917, and who have since been or who are hereafter discharged there from, the same rights of obtaining season tickets in the districts in which they live as they would have had if they had been season ticket-holders in such districts prior to 1st January, 1917?
§ Mr. WARDLEI do not think that it is necessary to amend the Regulations to meet this point. Applicants under such circumstances will have the same rights of obtaining season tickets in the districts in which they live as. they would have had if they had been season-ticket holders in such districts prior to 1st January, 1917.
§ Mr. RICHARDSONIs my hon. Friend aware that the Regulations as they stand clearly show that a man who had a season ticket before the 1st of January, 1917, is in a better position than those who had not?
§ Mr. WARDLEIt may not be quite clear, but the Regulations will be carried out in the spirit of my answer.
§ Mr. RICHARDSONWill the hon. Gentleman make them clear?
