HC Deb 17 February 1899 vol 66 c1278
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether any and, if so, what railway companies have yet taken steps to provide efficient means of communication on all passenger trains, as recommended in the Report issued last June by the Departmental Committee appointed to inquire into the subject?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE

The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway, the Great Central, the South Eastern, and the Furness use approved means of communication. The question generally is being considered by a Committee of General Managers, and the Board will continue to press for a decision.
