HC Deb 12 February 1930 vol 235 cc402-3
35. Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether a reply has been received by the Admiralty from the railway companies to the in- quiry whether an extension of the present travelling concession to a single fare for the double journey can be made to Naval ratings?

Mr. G. HALL

The Railway Companies have replied that they regret they cannot see their way to accede to the Admiralty request.

Sir B. FALLE

Will the Admiralty press the railway companies to re-consider this concession, which is already granted to the general public?

Mr. HALL

The Admiralty quite recently wrote to the railway companies, and this is their reply to the letter.
