HC Deb 07 August 1941 vol 373 c2138W
Mr. Butcher

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether, for the information of the members of the Forces travelling third-class on the railway, and for whom no seating accommodation is available, he will place notices in the corridors indicating under what conditions they may occupy first-class seating accommodation?

Colonel Llewellin

No, Sir. I think that it is better that the allocation of seats in first-class compartments to third-class ticket holders should be left to the railway company's staff who are in a position to know what accommodation is available on the train.
