§ 48. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE (for Captain Sir WILLIAM BRASS)asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in order to encourage civil aviation in this country, the Government will consider allowing Members of Parliament to travel by air to their constituencies with the use of their railway vouchers if they are willing to pay the excess charges involved?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENWhile I sympathise with the desire of the hon. and gallant Member to further the object which he has in mind, it would not be practicable under the terms of the Parliamentary Vote relating to the travelling expenses of Members to adopt the arrangement which he suggests.
