§ Mr. BUXTONasked the President of the Board of Trade if arrangements will fee made whereby the Great Eastern Railway Company and the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railways Committee will be authorised to issue three months' third-class season tickets to munition workers and others engaged in Government work instead of the minimum period of six months imposed under the new Regulations, so as to avoid the hardship inflicted on working people in finding the necessary amount to purchase a six months' season ticket in advance?
§ Mr. WARDLEThe Regulation in regard to the issue of season tickets for not less than six months only applies to persons who desire, for the first time, to take out a ticket for a distance exceeding 12 miles. If the hon. Member will give me any details of a munition worker to whom hardship is likely to arise under these conditions, I shall be glad to consider the matter.
