HC Deb 20 January 1964 vol 687 c97W
Sir Knox Cunningham

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether, bearing in mind that the rail and steamer fare between London and Belfast is £3 16s. 5d. for a 13-hour journey and that by air the journey takes one hour and the cost is £5 14s. 0d. or on an off-peak flight £3 3s. 0d., he will either issue free leave warrants for travel by air or else credit the amount of the free leave warrant by rail and steamer against the sum which has to be paid personally by the Naval officer or rating who chooses to travel by air.

Mr. Hay

No. The inter-Service rules for free leave travel must be applied.
