HC Deb 21 July 1919 vol 118 c942W
Colonel YATE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will have the present charge for railway fares printed on the railway tickets, so as to avoid miscalculation and excess charges in hurried calculations at the booking-office of the 50 per cent. increase?

Sir A. GEDDES

I understand that in the case of many of the companies the stock of printed railway tickets is sufficient to last twelve months. In view of the need for economy, I am not prepared to issue orders to the companies to waste these stocks.
