HC Deb 30 March 1920 vol 127 cc1102-3W
Sir W. SEAGER

asked the President of the Board of Education if he is aware that students at the Cardiff technical college residing at a distance from the city are refused the privilege of special fares on the local railways while students of the university college under similar conditions are granted them at a reduced rate; and will he take the necessary steps to secure equal treatment for all students?

Mr. FISHER

I am informed that the privilege of special fares accorded to the students of the university college is a special concession which was granted many years ago. The issue of season tickets at reduced rates for students has recently been revised, and such tickets will now be granted on uniform conditions, which are being advertised by the railway companies.
