HC Deb 29 April 1936 vol 311 cc898-9
54. Sir A. KNOX

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will approach the railway companies to ascertain whether they will be prepared to allow season tickets for a period of one quarter or over to be extended by the days of the holder's holidays provided the holder hands such ticket in at his local booking office before proceeding on holiday?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I will communicate my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion to the railway companies.

Sir A. KNOX

In submitting this to the railway companies, will the right hon. Gentleman point out to them that when he raised the question before, the reply of the railway companies did not meet the case? It merely dealt with refunds and refunds were not asked for, only an extension of the period of the season ticket?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I will ask the railway companies to give a complete answer to my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion.
