HC Deb 21 April 1899 vol 70 c218
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether any decision has yet been arrived at in regard to the recommendations made by the Departmental Committee in their Report of last June as to the best means of providing communication with the engine driver or guard on passenger trains?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE

The Board of Trade have not heard that the Committee of General Managers dealing with this subject has arrived at any conclusion, but they understand that some progress in that direction has been made.
