HC Deb 16 June 1947 vol 438 cc185-6W
115. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why the late night transport scheme for the staff and Members of the House has been suspended; when he intends to resume it; and, in the meantime, what steps he is taking to enable the staff and Members to get home after late sittings of the House when the normal omnibus and underground services have closed down for the night.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

I would refer the hon. Member to the statement I made in reply to the hon. Member for Rotherhithe (Mr. Mellish) on 10th June. The possibility of providing alternative facilities for the staff of the House is still being investigated; it is not likely that these arrangements can be made to include Members of Parliament.
