MR. LAWSON (St. Pancras, W.)

asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade, If his attention has been called to the condition of the Railway bridge of the North London Line, worked by the London and North Western Railway Company, in the Chalk Farm Road, St. Pancras; whether he is aware that the noise of the trains crossing it has caused several serious accidents, as well as being a nuisance to the neighbourhood; and, whether he will communicate with the North Western Railway Company, in order to do away with the nuisance, by altering the structure of the bridge?

THE SECRETARY TO THE BOARD (Baron HENRY DE WORMS) (Liverpool, East Toxteth)

The attention of the Board of Trade has not been called to the condition of the bridge mentioned by the hon.

The Board of Trade have communicated with the North London Railway Company, and their reply I shall be happy to show to the hon. Member.
