§ Mr. CLYNESasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, although juvenile cadet corps linked up with the Territorial Forces are allowed cheap fares to camps, this concession is withheld from other juvenile organisations such as the boy scouts; and whether he can state the reason for this discrimination, in view of the fact that the only difference is that the boy scouts and other organisations are not of a militarist character?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANCadet Corps are, I believe, granted reduced fares as part of the military organisation, under special arrangements made by the War Office. As I stated on the 10th April, in reply to the hon. Member for the Ardwick Division of Manchester, it is, I fear, improbable that it will be found practicable this year to give cheap facilities to boys travelling to camps generally, owing to the present railway position.
