§ MR. A. C. MORTON (Peterborough)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the Return for alternate months of the year of Railways (Times of Trains), issued by command for the year 1891, will be continued; and whether the Board of Trade has any power to compel the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company to keep better time with the trains on that railway?
§ MR. MUNDELLAI do not, as at present advised, propose to continue the Return of 1891. Lack of punctuality is not a matter with regard to which the Board of Trade have any powers of compulsion, but if any definite and reasonable complaint in reference to specific cases is brought under my notice I will communicate with the company concerned.
