HC Deb 10 August 1916 vol 85 c1251W
Sir J. SPEAR

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will arrange for officers going to their homes on leave to be allowed half fare if they travel second class on railways where second class is available, instead of confining the payment to officers travelling first class, and thus relieve them of any expense they can ill afford?

Mr. FORSTER

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for the Melton Division on Tuesday last.
