§ MR. A. THOMAS (Glamorgan, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he will take the necessary steps in order to have the recommendations of Colonel Rich carried into effect, which he made in his Report of 21st August, 1889, on the dangerous state of the Llancaiach Station of the Great Western Railway?
§ *THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Sir M. HICKS BEACH, Bristol, W.)Since the date of Colonel Rich's Report a new station at Treharris has been opened. The Board of Trade are informed by the Great Western Railway Company that they are waiting to see the effect upon the traffic of the opening of the new station before deciding either to improve the existing Llancaiach Station or to remove it altogether. The Board of Trade have no authority to make any requirements in the matter.
