§ SIR GEORGE BOWYERsaid, he wished to ask the President of the Board of Trade, Whether the attention of Government has been directed to the effect of Underground Railways in the Metropolis on buildings in the neighbourhood of the lines, and whether the Government will take the subject into their consideration?
§ MR. MILNER GIBSONsaid, it was presumed that Parliament, when it passed a Railway Act, inserted such clauses as were necessary for the protection of public and private interests. He supposed that parties injured would still have a right to maintain an action for damages. That, however, was a question which ought more properly to be addressed to his hon. and learned Friend the Attorney General.
