§ MR. JORDAN (Fermanagh, S.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to complaints in the Press and otherwise, by the travelling public that the Great Northern Railway Company of Ireland run certain trains daily from Derry to Belfast, via Enniskillen and Clones, a distance of 140 miles, and from Derry to Dundalk, viâ Enniskillen and Clones, a distance of 120 miles, on which there is neither lavatory or sanitary accommodation in either first, second, or third-class carriages; and, if so, will he make representations to the railway company to secure a remedy for this state of affairs.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds, CentralNo complaints have been received by the Board of Trade in this matter, which is not one in which the Department has any statutory powers of intervention. I have, however, communicated the hon. Member's Question to the railway company and have received a reply of which I am sending him a copy.
