HC Deb 07 July 1904 vol 137 c959
MR. JORDAN (Fermanagh, S.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that an excursion train, with about 600 members and their friends of the Catholic confraternity, left Enniskillen on the morning of the 3rd inst. for Dublin, upwards of 120 miles, and returning on the evening of the same day; and that on that train, crowded with passengers of all ages and both sexes, there was no lavatory nor sanitary accommodation whatever; and, in view of the comfort and health of the excursionists carried by this line to and from all points thereof, will he continue his good offices to rectify this state of affairs.

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

I have no information on the subject other than that supplied me by the hon. Member himself, but I am directing the attention of the railway company to the complaint contained in his Question.
