HC Deb 11 March 1918 vol 104 c56W
Sir JAMES BOYTON

asked the Undersecretary of State for War what is the cause of the delay in the issue of half-fare railway travelling vouchers to members of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps when proceeding home on leave, seeing that this concession was promised in November last?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My hon. Friend will realise that as the administration of the railways does not rest with the War Office, the detailed arrangements for the issue of these half-fare vouchers to the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps have necessarily taken some time to complete. The matter has now been arranged, and instructions will shortly be issued.
