§ 42. Mr. Milneasked the Minister of Transport if he will give a general direction to the British Transport Commission to examine the advantages of reducing the prices in the catering establishments of British Railways, in view of the success attending experiments of this nature.
§ Mr. MarplesNo, Sir.
§ Mr. MilneIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that one of these experiments concerned a group of railway employees who took over a refreshment room which was not paying and made it pay by reducing prices? Would he take notice of the talent that resides in railway employees and when he makes appointments to the Transport Commission look to that source?
§ Mr. MarplesCertainly, but I should like to have more information on how much voluntary work is provided there.
