HC Deb 21 July 1980 vol 989 cc109-10W
Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Minister of Transport, if he will issue a general directive to British Railways to terminate any agreement which enables foreigners to travel more cheaply on British Railways than British nationals such as the agreement which enables German nationals who have retired prematurely to obtain a 50 per cent. reduction on British rail fares and a 30 per cent. reduction on Sealink.

Mr. Fowler

It is a matter for the Railways Board to consider whether to offer reciprocal concessionary fares arrangements with foreign railways.
