§ MR. CORRIE GRANTI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the death of George William Cherry, a porter on the Great Western Railway, who was killed at Fenny Compton on Thursday, 1st August, while shunting with a tow rope; and seeing that this death might have been prevented if there had been a second set of points, whether he will state what steps he proposes to take to prevent similar accidents at this station in future.
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI have ordered an inquiry into the circumstances attending this accident.
