HC Deb 06 December 1948 vol 459 cc14-5W
85. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Economic Secretary to the Treasury if he will arrange for the wording on tickets issued to Government personnel when travelling on the Government's behalf to be altered so that cover is given to such officials in the event of loss of personal effects, loss of life, or injury, or alternatively for the small insurance cover at present granted to be increased to cover such risks.

Mr. Jay

Compensation is already paid when civil servants are killed, seriously injured or lose property when travelling on duty. The hon. Member's suggestion is, therefore, unnecessary.
