HC Deb 29 June 1955 vol 543 c390
35. Mr. Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Minister of Defence whether, since many branch railway lines are being closed, thereby involving long and expensive journeys by bus, he will give instructions that travel warrants to members of the forces should in future include bus as well as train fares.

The Minister of Defence (Mr. Selwyn Lloyd)

Service men who have to pay bus fares in the circumstances set out in the Question already have these refunded to them, and I am not aware that this system gives rise to hardship.
