§ *MR. T. B. CURRAN (Donegal, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that annoyance is caused to omnibus passengers in London through ticket examiners mounting omnibuses and demanding to see the travellers' tickets; 38 and whether these examiners are legally entitled to enforce their demand; and, if not, would he see his say to issue regulations to put a stop to this practice.
§ *SIR M. WHITE RIDLEYThe police have only received since 1892 four complaints of the practice referred to, which whether or not it could be legally enforced does not appear to me to be an unreasonable one when exercised in a proper manner. In any case I have no power to interfere with it.
