§ 67. Sir DOUGLAS THOMSONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what discount, if any, the Government get off the published fares, single, tourist return, and monthly return, on railway tickets issued to Members of Parliament?
§ Captain MARGESSONI have been asked to reply. No discount is received in respect of railway tickets issued to Members of the House in exchange for Parliamentary vouchers.
§ Sir D. THOMSONWill my right hon. and gallant Friend make representations, in view of the fact that business firms receive considerable discounts in connection with bulk travel facilities?
§ Captain MARGESSONI will make representations, but I hardly think it would be desirable for the House to seek to obtain from the companies anything which might be construed as a favour.
