§ 6. Mr. Parkerasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that billeted members of His Majesty's Forces have in many cases to pay exorbitant fares, involving grave hardship; and whether he will take steps to enable soldiers in uniform not to pay omnibus fares as in the last war?
§ Mr. StanleySoldiers billeted over two miles from their place of duty are allowed a refund of their travelling expenses by the cheapest means for one return journey a day. I cannot find that the practice in the last war went beyond this.
