HC Deb 22 March 1920 vol 127 c14
65. Major BARNETT

asked the Minister of Transport what steps he is taking to give effect to the resolution of the House that it is desirable that the statutory pensions of superannuated railway servants retired before or during the Government control of the railways should be increased to such an extent as will meet the increased cost of living?

Sir E. GEDDES

As my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary stated in the Debate the Government most heartily welcomed the motion, and offered no objection to its terms, but clearly stated that the matter was one for the Railway Companies to consider, and I trust they are doing so.
