HC Deb 04 November 1946 vol 428 c177W
87. Mr. Driberg

asked the Minister of Transport if, when making plans for the nationalisation of railways, he will consider abolishing the present system of first and third-class travel and replacing it by a system, based on need and service, under which first-class accommodation would be allocated, without extra charge, to such categories of persons as pregnant women, the disabled, and senior officials travelling on public business.

Mr. Barnes

No, Sir. Problems of this character must be left for examination by those who will be responsible for operating the railways under nationalisation.
