§ * MR. HUDSONI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade in how many cases on the Metropolitan District Railway have the axles of vehicles in use on trains for the conveyance of passengers broken since the commencement of electric traction power; have any inquiries been held into the cause of failure of such axles; and can he say what is the cause of the breakages.
§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGEI am in communication with the Railway Company on the subject, and should be glad if the hon. Member would put down his Question again in the course of a day or two.
