DR.MACGREGOR (Invernessshire)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps, if any, the Board of Trade proposes to take respecting the correspondence passed between the Board and the Railway Companies bearing on the subject of the method of sight testing practised by the Companies; and is the Board satisfied that every precaution is now being taken for the public safety?
§ MR. BRYCEThe correspondence already before the House shows that the Companies are fully alive to the importance of this subject, and are endeavouring by a system of tests to do what is necessary in the interest of public safety on the lines of the recommendations of 21 the Committee of the Royal Society. The Board do not propose to take any further action at present, but the matter shall not be lost sight of.
