§ Mr. W. THORNEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether such cheap travelling facilities will be provided to munition workers in the large industrial centres as have been granted to the women land workers by the Board of Agriculture and the Ministry of Labour Unemployment Department?
Sir A. STANLEYI am not sure to what cheap travelling facilities for munition workers my hon. Friend refers. Munition workers in large industrial centres can obtain cheap tickets to take them to1940W and from their work, and cheap tickets to enable them to go away for week-ends are issued by the Ministry of Munitions in limited numbers. The facilities referred to in the last part of the question are granted to enable the workers to travel to the places at which they are engaged to work, and arrangements have, I understand, now been made for their extension to all workpeople transferred to work of national importance through the Employment Exchanges of the Ministry of Labour.
