HC Deb 08 July 1946 vol 425 c3W
13. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Transport if he will provide travelling facilities for senior scholars from the provinces to visit London on organised school trips.

Mr. Barnes

The railway companies are authorised to reserve accommodation on scheduled trains, where that is practicable, or to run special trains, where the numbers warrant and it is operationally convenient, for the conveyance of organised parties except at weekends. As regards fares for such parties, I would ask the hon. Member to await the statement which I propose to make after Questions today.
