HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 cc127-8W
94. Mr. Keeling

asked the Minister of Transport on what grounds the Southern Railway has withdrawn from postmen and other wage-earners who normally work late shifts the right to buy workmen's tickets, while extending their issue to men and women who work late shifts for the purpose of spreading the power load.

Mr. Callaghan

I am glad to say that this concession, which was limited to Post Office uniformed staff who enjoyed it in 1941 and who travel on the Southern Railway, is being restored to those who lost it under the revised arrangements, but I regret that it cannot be extended further.
