HC Deb 10 May 1901 vol 93 c1316
SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will lay upon the Table the correspondence which has passed between the Board of Trade and the various railway companies with a view to securing adequate accommodation and haulage facilities for cycles in accordance with the representations of the various English, Welsh, Scotch, and Irish cycling unions.

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I shall be happy to consider the propriety of presenting the correspondence as soon as it is complete. Many of the communications have been verbal, and not of a strictly official character. The Board are still in communication with the Railway Association, and are expecting a reply from that body.

SIR HOWARD VINCENT

When may we expect to have the correspondence?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

That depends on the other side. I am awaiting their reply.

SIR HOWARD VINCENT

Will it be published within a month?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I cannot say.
