HC Deb 22 December 1919 vol 123 cc1054-5W
Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in considering the. question of the permission granted to officers of the Army and Navy when in uniform to travel first-class at second-class fares on the production of the requisite form authorising them to do so, he will take into consideration the entirely different and unsettled conditions under which these officers live compared with the more settled lives of the civil population, and that he will not deprive these officers of this small concession so long as the railways are under Government control?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I can only refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply on Tuesday last which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Bury St. Edmunds.
