HC Deb 21 August 1940 vol 364 c1293
37. Mr. R. Gibson

asked the Minister of. Transport whether he is aware that return tickets are not issued from places in the South or Midlands of Scotland to stations in the prohibited areas; and whether he will take steps to secure that travellers to these stations are not thus deprived of the benefit of return tickets at a much lower cost than two single tickets for the same journey?

Sir J. Reith

I am told that the railways still issue return tickets to places in prohibited areas, but purchasers are warned that they will have to prove their 1.ght to enter the areas.

Mr. Gibson

Will the right hon. Gentleman see that that reply is made known, because there is a widespread impression among Highlanders living in the Lowlands of Scotland that they are unable to get return tickets?

Sir J. Reith

Yes, Sir, I will.

Mr. Hicks

Do I understand that return tickets are issued from Scotland?
