HC Deb 24 March 1947 vol 435 c148W
93. Mr. Symonds

asked the Minister of Transport if he will extend the distance for which workmen's tickets can be issued so as to get a better distribution of labour pending the easing of the housing shortage.

Mr. Barnes

The places between which workmen's tickets are available are limited, by distance and otherwise, to those where there is a reasonable demand by such workmen. Any relaxation of these limitations would present serious operational difficulties.
