HC Deb 01 October 1941 vol 374 cc591-2W
Mr. Parker

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he is aware that considerable hardship has been caused to Civil Defence personnel travelling to their work when they have had to move owing to being bombed out; and whether this grievance is to be met by classifying them as shift workers?

Colonel Llewellin

Shift workmen's tickets can be obtained on the railways by whole-time Civil Defence workers who are employed as artisans, mechanics or labourers. Other whole-time Civil Defence workers can take advantage of the concession announced recently, by which, when travelling between their homes and places of employment, they can obtain return railway tickets valid for two days at the cost approximately of single ordinary fare for the return journey.
