§ MR. MONTAGU (Cambridgeshire, Chesterton)To ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he has undertaken his promised inquiry into the grievances suffered by British traders and farmers at the hands of British railway companies; whether the inquiry is approaching completion; and whether he can yet make any announcement as to the remedial action he contemplates.
(Answered by Mr. Kearley.) Inquiries on this subject are in progress, but the Board of Trade cannot at present say when they will be completed or what action it may subsequently be desirable to take.
