§ 17. Viscount CURZONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty, whether he is aware that, owing to the withdrawal of the reduced rate charges for men of the forces in uniform by the railway companies, many men, especially married men with families, stationed at Rosyth, will be unable to take advantage of their Easter leave; and what action the Admiralty propose to take?
§ Mr. AMERYI regret the hardship involved, but I have nothing to add at present to my reply of the 10th April to the hon. and gallant Member for Portsmouth.
§ Viscount CURZONIs the hon. Gentleman aware of the serious discontent which exists among the men in regard to this matter?
§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEIs the hon. Gentleman also aware that a Motion which I put down the other night—an Amendment to the Railway Bill—was ruled out of order by Mr. Speaker; and will he kindly communicate to the railway companies that decision of Mr. Speaker, and endeavour to persuade them to give these men proper facilities?
