HC Deb 16 June 1915 vol 72 cc671-2W
Mr. GRANT

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that, owing to the action of the Railway Executive Committee, the privilege of cheap fares for blind children who have to use railways to go to and from their schools has been discontinued; and if he can see his way to recommend that the privilege referred to may be renewed?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I understand that all the cheap booking facilities previously granted to children for the purpose of attending school have been withdrawn, and I fear that no modification of the existing arrangements in this respect can be looked for at present.
