HC Deb 21 April 1902 vol 106 c812
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he will state who is bound to look after gates at a railway crossing, over which a number of persons have a right of way into their lands from the public road, and over which gates the railway company have appointed no gatekeeper.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

I cannot undertake to give a legal opinion in reply to this Question, but I may refer the hon. Member to Section 75 of the Railway Clauses Act 1845.
