§ MR. CHARLES CRAIG (Antrim, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to the fact that the London and North-Western Railway Company have raised the price of sleeping accommodation in their trains to 7s. 6d. between Holyhead and London, while it is only 5s. between London and any other station south of Carlisle; and whether, having regard to the disadvantage thereby imposed on the Irish tourist traffic, he will take steps to have representations made to the company with a view to having this charge altered.
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI am aware that the charges are as stated. The Board of Trade are not empowered to intervene in the matter, but I have caused the hon. Member's Question to be brought to the notice of the railway company.
