§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, having regard to the inability of the Board of Trade to prevent overcrowding in the carriages of the Metro- 1228 politan and Metropolitan District Railways, he will consider the advisability of seeking powers in regard to railway carriages similar to those which he now possesses in the case of public conveyances in streets carrying more passengers than they are authorised to hold?
§ * SIR MATTHEY WHITE RIDLEYI am afraid the matter is not one which comes within my jurisdiction.
