82. Mr. ALFRED T. DAVIESasked the Minister of Transport whether it will be possible to have excursion trains or cheap fares for the Christmas holidays; and if he will make representations to the railway companies with that object in view?
§ Sir E. GEDDESI have had this matter under consideration, and the railway companies have been requested for their views. I am hoping that it will be possible to introduce cheap excursion trains.
§ Sir E. GEDDESI hope that something in the way of excursion trains may be possible.
Sir OWEN-PHILIPPSWill the right hon. Gentleman consider favourably the question of cheap fares for serving soldiers who have not had an opportunity of seeing their homes for four, five, or six years?
§ Sir E. GEDDESCertainly, I will.
