HC Deb 08 December 1919 vol 122 c895
60. Captain BOWYER

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will make arrangements to grant facilities to ex-Service men who, owing to the shortage of houses, are compelled to travel by train to their work and who live away from their homes, such as will enable them to obtain week-end tickets at cheaper rates?

Sir E. GEDDES

In the present financial position, I am unable to extend facilities for cheap week-end travel, and I regret that I should not feel justified in making an exception in the case mentioned.
