§ Mr. Cassellsasked the Minister of Transport whether he has anything further to report in relation to his promised negotiations with the railway companies concerning their liability in respect of their common law liability in respect of claims for damages on the issue of cheap excursion tickets?
§ Mr. BurginI hope to make a statement on this subject at an early date.
§ Mr. Cassellsasked the Minister of Transport whether he will make inquiries to ascertain whether Members of this House are fully covered in respect of 1724W common law liability for loss, injury, and damage suffered whilst engaged in rail travel with railway vouchers issued to Members.
§ Mr. BurginI am now discussing with the railway companies the question of the limitation of liability which they attach to cheap day, half day and evening tickets and workmen's tickets. Hon. Members are as fully covered as travellers purchasing their tickets in the ordinary way.
