HC Deb 17 September 1931 vol 256 c1013
52. Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the estimated cost to the State of the railway travel of all public servants, including Members of Parliament and officers in the fighting forces; and what the figure would be if they all travelled third class?

59 and 60. Mr. TURTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what would be the saving effected by the provision of third-class tickets instead of first-class tickets for the free railway travel facilities of the Civil Service; and whether, in view of the national emergency, he will recommend such proposals;

(2) whether he has considered the limitation of the provision, of free railway vouchers to Members of the House to third-class travel; whether the saving obtained by this limitation is still estimated at £16,000; and what decision he has come to upon the matter?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

The answer to those questions is that the matter is now under examination.
