HC Deb 02 August 1887 vol 318 cc910-1
MR. PICTON (Leicester)

asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade, Whether there is now any objection to the production of the legal opinion taken by the Board of trade in 1880 on the question of liability of tramways to Railway Passenger Duty?

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

The same objection which existed in 1880 still exists, as it is contrary to usage to publish the opinions of the Law Officers. I regret, therefore, that we cannot comply with the hon. Member's request.
