HC Deb 04 March 1942 vol 378 cc663-4W
Mr. Liddall

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will consult with the three services and railway companies with a view to running fast through leave trains to and from selected centres in the North and South, by-passing London, and thus saving all ratings time and inconvenience?

Mr. Noel-Baker

A number of through leave trains, of the kind which my hon. Friend suggests, are already in regular service. Additional trains are arranged, when the numbers of Service personnel travelling regularly between defined points justify that course
