§ MR. CLANCYOn behalf of the hon. Member for the St. Patrick's Division of Dublin, I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the Railway Commissioners have power to compel Companies to give a through rate; and whether they will make the North Eastern Company comply with the law in this respect?
§ MR. BRYCEIf the hon. Member will refer to Section 25 of the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1888, he will find that the Commissioners have power to compel Railway Companies to give through rates if the terms of that section are complied with. I have no doubt that the Commissioners would give due attention to any complaint brought before them in terms of the section and do justice in the premises.
