§ Mr. F. ROBERTSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that many people will soon desire to make the necessary arrangements for much needed holidays, he can now state if cheaper travelling facilities will be provided on the railways; and, if so, at what period the same will be brought into operation?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANAs stated in the reply given to the hon. Gentleman on this subject on the 25th February, the question whether any cheap travelling facilities can be granted this year is under consideration. My right hon. Friend is not, however, at present able to say if, or when, it may be found practicable to reinstate such facilities or to what extent.
