HC Deb 29 June 1931 vol 254 cc905-6W
Major COLFOX

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many Members have been using their free railway vouchers to obtain third-class railway tickets since the announcement was made that this was permissible?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The announcement that vouchers could be exchanged for third-class tickets was first made several years ago. I understand that a special detailed scrutiny of used vouchers would be necessary in order to obtain the information desired by the hon. and gallant Member. The labour involved in such a scrutiny would not, I think, be justified.
