HC Deb 09 June 1921 vol 142 cc2080-1W
Sir C. OMAN

asked the Postmaster-General how many members of his Department received travelling allowance, including the price of first-class railway tickets, during the financial year 1920–21; and what was the total sum paid to railway companies for first-class tickets for such persons?

Mr. PEASE

I find that the information required could only be obtained by a detailed scrutiny of the claims for reimbursement of travelling expenses both headquarters and local for the year 1920–21. The work involved and the expenditure incurred would be considerable, and I hope my hon. Friend will not press me to undertake it.
