§ 49. Mr. Henry Hopkinsonasked the Lord President of the Council if he will arrange that special facilities offered by him to overseas visitors in connection with the Festival of Britain, such as mileage coupons on British Railways, shall be made available to residents of the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonThe hon. Member is under a misapprehension. I do not offer any special facilities to overseas visitors in connection with the Festival of Britain.
§ Mr. HopkinsonIs the Lord President aware that American magazines are carrying Festival of Britain advertisements which announce "substantial savings obtainable in Britain," including mileage coupons; that these mileage coupons as I understand it, provide for 1,000 miles of travel at 22 dollars 40 cents, third-class, and weekly "Go as you Please" London Transport tickets at 3 dollars 50 cents; and is there any reason why these facilities should not be made available to the people of this country?
§ Mr. MorrisonThe hon. Gentleman says that this is a Festival of Britain advertisement. He had better send it to me and I will have a look at it, as well as referring him to the Minister to whom he should put a Question.
