HC Deb 24 March 1947 vol 435 c143W
94. Mr. Symonds

asked the Minister of Transport if, when increasing railway fares, he will make some concessions for weekend travel to workmen who have to live in lodgings away from home and can visit their families only at such times.

Mr. Barnes

I regret that, in prevailing circumstances, it is not practicable to introduce concessions for weekend travel, even if they could be limited as contemplated by my hon. Friend.
