§ 64. Mr. Manderasked the Minister of Transport whether he will make arrangements with the main line railway companies that vacant first-class seats, where all third-class seats are occupied, shall be made available for the wives of soldiers, sailors and airmen as well as for the men, in view of the strong desire for this?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport (Mr. Montague)I would remind the hon. Member that the latitude given to the railways' staff in this matter is contingent upon the train being seriously over-crowded. It applies to wives of soldiers, sailors and airmen as to other members of the travelling public.
