HC Deb 18 June 1897 vol 50 cc362-3
MR. JOHN ELLIS (Nottingham, Rushciffe)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state whether any arrangement has been arrived at with the railway companies as to the sale to the public of the Airey Maps, as was the case prior to 1894?

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

I am happy to state that, after negotiations conducted by the Department, the following letter has been received from the Railway Clearing House:— I am instructed now to inform you that the Clearing House Committee have decided that, in addition to the general railway maps of England, Scotland, and Ireland now on sale, sectional railway maps and diagrams indicating the different lines of railway and showing distances between stations, shall also be placed on sale to the public.
