HC Deb 09 December 1920 vol 135 c2414
69. Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, when sanctioning travelling expenses of members of the public on public business, he will provide that only third-class fares will be paid from public funds?

Mr. BALDWIN

I will bear the hon. and gallant Member's suggestion in mind when the general scales of travelling expenses are reviewed.

Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESS

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Ministry of Agriculture has just issued a circular as to the Council of Agriculture for England, saying that the Treasury has sanctioned payment for travelling, not limited as to class, for this Council?
