HC Deb 07 October 1942 vol 383 c1235W
Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Home Secretary whether he will now consider restoring the special travel vouchers withdrawn some time ago from the workers on the Clyde who have had to evacuate their houses owing to enemy action, in view of the fact that they still have no homes to go to?

Miss Wilkinson

The special travel voucher scheme was only discontinued last January by the Regional Commissioner after the fullest consideration of all relevant factors, including the availability of billets in the Glasgow area. I have consulted the Regional Commissioner on the suggestion that the scheme should now be restored, but in all the circumstances I do not feel justified in asking him to reintroduce at this date a scheme which is primarily designed to meet conditions arising immediately after a heavy raid.
