HC Deb 01 May 1902 vol 107 c433
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that there are no automatic brakes on the mail trains running between Ahmedabad and Jeypore; and will he state whether, in the interests of the travelling public, steps will be taken to require the railway company to provide all passenger carriages with automatic brakes.

LORD G. HAMILTON

I will inquire into the matter.

MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that, although the carriages of the passenger trains running between Agra and Gwalior are fitted with automatic brakes, some only are connected; and, in view of the danger arising from these conditions, will he cause some inquiry to be made with a view to greater care being exercised in making up the trains running between the places mentioned.

LORD G. HAMILTON

I will inquire, into the matter.
