HC Deb 07 December 1945 vol 416 cc2819-20W
Mr. Attewell

asked the Minister of War Transport if he is now in a position to report on the subject of reduced fare travelling facilities for wives of Servicemen, following his conversations with the Service Departments.

Mr. Barnes

I have decided that the limitation on the number of railway tickets at concession fares which may be obtained by wives of Servicemen shall be removed as from 1st January, 1946, but that, except in certain specially authorised cases, such as visits to husbands in hospital, concession fares will not be available for distances of less than 30 miles.
