HC Deb 13 March 1883 vol 277 c360
MR. GREGORY

asked the President of the Board of Trade, If he contemplates bringing in a Bill in the present Session to put the Railway Commission on a permanent footing, and to carry out the recommendations of the Committee on Railway Rates and Fares, with respect to the powers and jurisdiction of such Commission?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN,

in reply, said, he had answered this Question a short time ago. He then said that it was thought undesirable to bring in any Bill which there was no immediate hope of passing through the House; and at the present time the Government list of measures was so full that he could not promise to give attention to the matter.

MR. GREGORY

said, he would give Notice that he should take an early opportunity of calling the attention of the House to the subject.

MR. TOMLINSON

asked whether such a Bill could not be brought into the other House?
