HC Deb 03 August 1916 vol 85 c523W
Mr. GLANVILLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade if Army officers living on the London and South-Westem Railway are charged full rates for monthly season tickets; and, if so, whether he can get arrangements made to enable them to obtain season tickets at the same rates as Canadian officers, namely, half rates?

Mr. FORSTER

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. The concession referred to was made, unknown to the War Office, by the Railway Executive Committee as a compliment to Canadian officers. It is impossible to extend it to Army officers generally who presumably prefer to live in the country and travel up to Iondon for their work. If they travel on special duty, of course they travel with warrants.
