HC Deb 01 May 1894 vol 24 c40
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to an accident on the Highland Railway (reported in last Saturday's papers) near Dunphail Station to a night passenger train; and whether all the carriages in the train referred to were fitted with automatic brakes, in accordance with the instructions of the Department to the Highland Railway Company last year?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. MUNDELLA,) Sheffield, Brightside

An inquiry by an Inspecting Officer of the Board of Trade has been ordered, but the facts at present have not yet been reported.
