HC Deb 10 September 1941 vol 374 c197W
Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the handicap to wounded soldiers in out-of-the-way hospitals meeting the omnibus fares to nearby towns when leave to visit is granted; and whether he is prepared to make some arrangement whereby wounded men may obtain such transport by cheap voucher or nominal fare?

Captain Margesson

I am not aware of any demand for such a concession, but, if my hon. Friend has in mind any particular case in which hardship arises, I shall be glad to consider whether there is a case for approaching the local bus company with regard to a reduction of fares.
