§ SIR GEORGE FARDELL (Paddington, S.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been drawn to the inconvenience experienced day and night by the occupiers and owners of houses in Bayswater in consequence of the vibration caused by the running of trains on the Central London Railway; and, if so, whether the Department will at once institute an inquiry into the cause of the vibration, so that, if possible, some means may be devised for remedying the evil.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds CentralYes, Sir, I have received several communications from Members of this House and others on the subject referred to by my hon. friend. The matter is receiving my most careful consideration, but there are many difficulties, and I am not prepared at the present moment to make any announcement with regard to it.
