HC Deb 19 April 1920 vol 128 cc13-4
41. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can issue an order to the railway companies to extend the age of children's half-price tickets from 12 to 14 years of age; and, if not, whether, in view of the increased cost of living to the working classes, he will ask the companies to favourably consider this two years' age extension on children's cheap tickets?

Sir E. GEDDES

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to a similar question put by the hon. Member for Barnard Castle (Mr. Swan) on the 15th instant.
