§ Sir A. Knoxasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that junior officers of the Territorial Army who are members of the staff of railway companies lose their salary when attending 1937W annual training or courses of instruction; and whether he will see his way to represent to the leading railway companies that they should make some concession in the interests of national defence?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaI regret that the railway companies have not seen their way to grant the same facilities as are given by other large industrial undertakings. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport has agreed to look into the matter.
