§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he has yet ascertained whether any of the Local Authorities within the area of certain specified stations on the Metropolitan Railway have refused to afford reasonable facilities for the construction of openings into the streets above the tunnel for the purpose of allowing the foul atmosphere to escape; and, if so, will he state the name of the Local Authority or authorities who have so refused?
§ THE PRESIDENT or THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. BRYCE,) Aberdeen, S.I have received a long and detailed communication from the Metropolitan Railway Company with reference to this question. It would hardly be right for me to occupy the time of the House by 900 reading it, but I will furnish the hon. Member with a copy.
