§ 18. Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Transport whether arrangements can be made to extend the period during which monthly return tickets are available to three months for the duration of the war?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport (Mr. Montague)No, Sir. The monthly return ticket rate represents a substantial reduction, granted originally to attract traffic. In present conditions, I see no justification for encouraging travel of the type which would be assisted by return tickets at reduced rates available for a period in excess of a month.
