HC Deb 11 December 1922 vol 159 cc2373-4
76. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Prime Minister whether he is prepared to consider issuing free railway warrants for Members of Parliament to and from their constituencies?

The PRIME MINISTER

Judging by past experience I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by reopening this question.

Mr. HOGGE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware, as this is a new House of Commons, of the obvious inequalities and anomalies which compel Members who come either from Wales or from Scotland to incur so great railway expense as compared with those who come from London and the home counties?

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Gentleman should give notice of that question.
