HC Deb 01 July 1897 vol 50 cc866-7
MR. CALDWELL

On behalf of the hon. Member for Ross and Cromarty, I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he can state when the Report of the Committee on the ventilation of the tunnels of the Metropolitan and Metropolitan District Railways will be laid upon the Table of the House?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. C. T. RITCHIE,) Croydon

The Committee hope to conclude the taking of evidence next Tuesday, 6th July, when they will consider their Report. They have arranged to visit the Severn Tunnel to inspect the ventilating arrangements on July 12th, and the Report will be made as soon as possible after that date.
