HC Deb 10 July 1919 vol 117 c1997
43. Mr. BRIANT

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is now in a position to state what facilities can be given for the conveyance by the railways of approved organisations of boys and girls to camps, especially as the delay is rendering the necessary arrangements increasingly difficult?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I hope to be able to let the hon. Member know before the end of this week what decision has been come to.

Mr. HURD

And will other hon. Members who have raised this question also be informed?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I will announce the decision arrived at.

Mr. BRIANT

Will the decision be communicated to the Boy Scouts and the Boys Brigades, so that they may know what facilities are to be granted?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I will do my best to tell everybody.

Mr. J. JONES

Will fathers of families living in poor districts who wish to send their children to the seaside have the same chance?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

That does not arise out of the question.
