HC Deb 04 August 1902 vol 112 c509
MR. BELL (Derby)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he can state when the Return of hours worked by railwaymen, which is being prepared, will be presented to the House.

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

The preparation of this Return is well advanced, but there are still several railway companies from whom the required information has not yet been received. Further reminders, where necessary, will shortly be issued, and every effort will be made to expedite the issue of the Return, but I am unable to name a date for presentation to Parliament.
