§ 15. Major Sir ARCHIBALD SINCLAIRasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the Department of Education has approached the railway companies with a view to reaching an 194 arrangement enabling students to travel between their homes and their universities at reduced fares?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe reply is in the negative.
§ Sir A. SINCLAIRWould the right hon. Gentleman himself apply this legal power, having regard to the fact that political parties received these cheaper fares, and does he not recognise the advantage it would be to the students at these universities to receive similar facilities?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI think the proper parties to negotiate with in this matter would be the authorities at the universities.
