§ SIR JOHN BRUNNER (Cheshire, Northwich)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether any complaint has reached him of the danger caused to life by the deficiency of accommodation for passengers at Northwich Station, and whether he can take any action in the matter?
§ MR. RITCHIEThe Board of Trade have received a communication from the Northwich Urban District Council inclosing a copy of a letter addressed by the Deputy Clerk to the Manager of the Cheshire Lines Committee on this subject. The Department has also been in communication with the Committee since the Hon. Baronet's Question appeared on the Paper. The Manager denies that there is any danger, but informs me that the matter is to be brought specially to the notice of the Committee at their next meeting. The Board have no power to compel the Committee to re-model the station or supply additional accommodation.
