HC Deb 08 December 1919 vol 122 c940W
Lord H. CAVENDISH - BENTINCK

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will recommend to the Railway Executive Committee that reduced rates be charged to teams of elementary school boys travelling by rail to take part in the English Schools' Football Association Shield competition?

Sir E. GEDDES

I regret that I cannot see my way to recommend the exceptional issue of tickets at reduced rates in favour of boys travelling to the football competition mentioned.

Lord H. CAVENDISH - BENTINCK

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will grant free passes on the railways to men at the Enham Village Centre for disabled soldiers to proceed to their homes for Christmas?

Sir E. GEDDES

I regret that I should not feel justified in throwing an additional charge upon public funds as a result of such a concession, or in treating the men at this particular centre exceptionally.
