HC Deb 20 March 1899 vol 68 c1334
MR. TENNANT (Berwickshire)

May I ask the President of the Board of Trade if he intends to proceed with the Automatic Railway Couplings Bill, or if he proposes to appoint a Committee to investigate the matter?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE

I think it more convenient that I should say what I have to say on this subject when the Bill is reached without explaining matters now.
