§ MR. ELLIS (Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe)To ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the death of a school girl who was run over by a train at what is known as Saville's Crossing on the Midland and 745 Great Northern Railways at Colwick, Nottinghamshire, on Tuesday, 16th July; and whether, having regard to the numerous fatalities at this place during recent years, to the increase in the adjacent population and the large and increasing number of trains which pass, he will suggest to the railway companies concerned the desirability of replacing the level crossing by a bridge.
(Answered by Mr. Kearley.) The accident in question occurred on the lines of the Great Northern Railway Company, and the company have, as my right hon. friend informed the hon. Member for South Nottingham yesterday, decided to erect a footbridge at the crossing.
