§ GENERAL UPTONsaid, he wished to ask the President of the Board of Trade, If he will inform the House whether the Railway Companies of the United Kingdom are careful that the best malleable iron should be used invariably in the construction of the wheels, tires, and axles of the carriages, trucks, and locomotives of their respective lines?
§ MR. MILNER GIBSONsaid, the Railway Department of the Board of Trade had it not in their power to give the information which the hon. and gallant Member required. Captain Tyler had recently made a very elaborate Report in which, probably, there might be mention of the kinds of iron used in a number of cases in which accidents had recently occurred. That Report will shortly be laid before the House.
