HC Deb 25 July 1899 vol 75 c231
MR. BIRRELL (Fifeshire, W.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received any Report from his inspector as to the present entrances to and ways from Thornton Junction Station in Fife; and, if so, whether the inspector has made any and what recommendations as to necessary alterations and improvements in these or other respects; and whether he will lay the Report upon the Table.

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

Yes, Sir, the inspecting officer has reported, and a copy of his Report has been sent to each of the parties who communicated with the Board of Trade. The Department has also written to the company expressing a hope that they will carry out the inspecting officer's suggestions. These suggestions are too long to state within the limits of an answer to a question, but I shall be happy to lay a copy of the Report on the Table.
