HC Deb 07 June 1951 vol 488 c139W
58. Mr. R. Harris

asked the Minister of Agriculture what arrangements he has come to with the British Transport Commission for granting special cheap railway fares to persons volunteering for work on farms during harvest time in 1951 and 1952.

Mr. T. Williams

The Railway Executive has agreed to continue in 1951 the facility introduced during the war under which persons attending harvest camps may obtain return tickets for the cost of the single fare. The Executive has, however, decided that it cannot repeat these arrangements in 1952.
