HC Deb 17 October 1939 vol 352 c717W
Captain Plugge

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can now make a statement in regard to the issue of free railway warrants for men of the Navy for journeys home when on leave?

Mr. Shakespeare

I am pleased to announce that arrangements have been made whereby officers and men of the seagoing ships of the Fleet in home waters (including commissioned auxiliaries) will be given free return tickets to their homes, when leave is possible, on two occasions in each year.
