§ MR. BELL (Derby)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he will use his influence with the Tramways and Light Railways Association and the Municipal Tramways Association to meet jointly, so as to be assisted by a representative of the Board of Trade, to inquire into the question of brake-power on street cars.
§ MR. KEARLEYI understand that the two Associations will in due course meet and compare the results arrived at by their respective committees, which are now carrying on independent investigations. The Board of Trade will be prepared to appoint a representative to assist them.
