§ 33. Mr. GILBERTasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that it has been the practice for years that season-ticket holders on railways were allowed to deposit their tickets during holidays when they were not used, and were allowed an extension or rebate for such periods of time; whether any order has been issued by the Railway Executive Committee, or by the railway companies, cancelling this practice during the year; and whether, in view of the increased price of season tickets, he will give instructions that the old practice be continued?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI am asking for the observations of the Railway Executive Committee on this matter, and I will communicate with the hon. Gentleman on their receipt.
