HC Deb 10 August 1920 vol 133 c246W
7. Sir L. HARMSWORTH

asked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been drawn to the prejudicial effects of the recent rise in railway fares upon the cured-fish industry; and if he can see his way to grant to coopers and gutters privileges in this respect similar to those enjoyed by fruit pickers?

Mr. NEAL

I cannot recognise any special circumstances which would justify preferential treatment being given to these workers, at the expense of other-users of the railways.
