HC Deb 17 February 1948 vol 447 cc171-2W
33. Mr. Digby

asked the Secretary of State for War what concessions are made to British troops serving in Kenya by way of reduced prices for tobacco, cigarettes and other necessities obtained from the N.A.A.F.I. and by reduced fares on trains and buses to replace the wartime concessions that have been withdrawn.

Mr. Shinwell

I understand that the Government of Kenya charge 50 per cent. of the normal duty on tobacco and cigarettes for sale in military cantonments. Elsewhere no concession is made. I have no information as to concession fares allowed to troops travelling privately on trains or buses in Kenya.
