§ MR. STRAUS (Tower Hamlets, Mile End)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can put a stop to the District Railway Company continually obtaining money by 1476 issuing tickets to the public when certain trains are not running, as it would appear that the company instructs the ticket office to go on issuing tickets until they are officially stopped, although they know certain trains are not running.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE,) Carnarvon BoroughsIf my hon. friend will furnish particulars of the practice of which he complains, I will consider whether the Board of Trade can usefully communicate with the railway company thereon. I may say, however, that as I am informed by the railway company, a passenger who purchases a ticket can always get his money back if there is no train to take him to his destination.
