§ DR. THOMPSONI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if his attention has been called to the existing station accommodation at Londonderry of the Lough Swilly Railway Company; and whether, considering that this company has had handed over to it the two Government railways—namely, to Burton Port and Carndonagh—His Majesty's Government will see that suitable station buildings shall be erected without unnecessary delay at Londonderry.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINThe Londonderry station of the Lough Swilly Company is the property of that Company, and the Board of Works have no jurisdiction enabling them to call for the erection of new buildings, or for the alteration or improvement of existing buildings at it. Their agreements with the Lough Swilly Company in connection 951 with the Letterkenny, Carndonagh, and Burton Port lines give them no power to interfere in the matter. The existing buildings are not, so far as the Board are aware, dilapidated or in bad repair.
