asked the Minister of Transport who are the persons who have seats reserved in London and North Eastern Railway trains during daytime?

From inquiries I have made it appears that seats have been reserved in London and North Eastern Railway trains for certain persons travelling on Government business with secret plans and documents. Accommodation is also reserved on occasion for mental patients, prisoners of war, military prisoners, and convicts and their escorts.

Is the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that some of the mental cases, convict cases and other cases were actually Members of this House?
