§ Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that trains to evacuation areas are so seriously overcrowded during week-ends, despite the withdrawal of excursion tickets and some increase of services, that many husbands are using money set aside for rent to visit their wives; and whether he can consider authorising the issue, through local authorities, of special cheap tickets once monthly to meet this problem?
§ Captain WallaceI am unable to add to the answer which I gave on this subject to the hon. Member for Poplar, South (Mr. D. M. Adams) and other hon. Members on the 4th October. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of that answer.
