HC Deb 08 December 1943 vol 395 c957
34. Major Lyons

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport the approximate amount that the main line railway companies propose to spend in public advertisement against unnecessary Christmas travel?

Mr. Noel-Baker

I will endeavour to obtain the information required by my hon. and gallant Friend, and I will communicate with him when I have received it.

Major Lyons

Whatever that amount is, can the hon. Gentleman assure the House that it will not be made futile by the running of additional trains at Christmas?

Mr. Noel-Baker

I have already given the hon. and gallant Gentleman a long answer to that question.
