MR. FIELDI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the railway charge from Tullow to Dublin is 6s. per waggon dearer than it is from Carlow, which is only four miles nearer to Dublin than Carlow; whether he is aware that the guarantee for Tullow and district is 3½d. in the £; and whether relief can be afforded to the ratepayers from such railway tariffs?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADEI cannot say whether the facts are as stated, but I have more than once explained to the hon. Member that it is impossible for the Board of Trade to deal with such general complaints. If the complaint is intended to be one of undue preference, the law has provided a remedy, which I assume the parties aggrieved can adopt.
