HC Deb 01 November 1906 vol 163 cc1330-1
MR. HUDSON

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to the action of the Midland Railway Company in placing untrained men in charge of goods trains without their having passed the usual examination; and whether, in view of the danger involved to the lives of the men employed, he will cause inquiry to be made into the matter.

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

No, Sir, I have no information to the effect suggested, but I am communicating the hon. Member's Question to the railway company mentioned and inviting their observations.
