HC Deb 16 February 1893 vol 8 cc1563-4
MR. WINGFIELD-DIGBY (Dorset, N.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the London and South Western Railway Company have not only now abandoned their increased rates for the carriage of milk, but have also agreed not to charge them at all since the 1st of January last?

MR. MUNDELLA

In a letter dated 30th January, 1893, Mr. Scotter, General Manager of the London and South Western Railway, stated— I take this opportunity to inform you that, so far as the South Western Company are concerned, they have for the present decided to parse the old rates for the carriage of milk, and will apply the same as from the 1st of January.
