HC Deb 10 December 1902 vol 116 c657
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a special train which left Dingwall shortly after noon on Saturday, the 29th November, was derailed between Achnasheen and Garve owing to the breaking of one of the axles of the tender; and will he state whether the accident will be made a subject of a Board of Trade inquiry?

*MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I have received a report of this accident, from which it appears that an axle of the tender broke, but the train did not leave the rails. An inquiry by an officer of the Board of Trade hardly appears to be necessary.
