HC Deb 28 February 1945 vol 408 cc1405-6W
Mr. Glenvil Hall

asked tile Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport if he will state the time the refreshment rooms close each evening, including Sundays, at the main line stations in Manchester; and if, for the convenience of travellers one, at least, of them at each station can be kept open till midnight.

Mr. Noel-Baker
