HC Deb 09 February 1897 vol 46 c8
MR. W. E. M. TOMLINSON (Preston)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the Board of Trade intend to make a special Report with reference to the Railway Clearing House Incorporation Bill?

MR. RITCHIE

If the Committee on the Bill desire any information from the Board of Trade with regard to any of its proposals, such information as far as the Board possess will be available, but it does not devolve upon the Department to make any Report on, the Bill.

MR. TOMLINSON

asked whether that referred to the Committee of the House of Lords or to the Committee of the House of Commons?

MR. RITCHIE

said it referred to either Committee.
