§ MR. CHANNING (Northampton, E.)asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether he is now in a position to introduce a short Bill to deal with the several points of safety arrangements on railways, and Returns of Overtime Work, on which he undertook, on the 8th of May last, to legislate?
§ THE PRESIDENT (Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH) (Bristol, W.), in reply, said, he had no hope, during the present Session, of introducing such a Bill. As to the Returns of Overtime, he intended to insert in the Railway and Canal Traffic Bill a clause requiring statistics, which he thought would cover that point.
