§ 52. Mr. CAMPBELLasked 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. TURTONasked 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. SNOWDENThe answer to those questions is that the matter is now under examination.
