§ MR. HOWELL DAVIES (Bristol, S.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the refusal of the Bristol Tramways Company to allow miners to ride inside workmen's cars; also if he is aware that the Bristol Trades Council has had the matter before them and have unanimously expressed their desire that miners should be permitted to travel in like comfort with their fellow workers; and whether he can take any action to meet this case.
§ MR. KEARLEYYes, Sir, the Board of Trade have communicated the views of the trades council to the tramways company, and requested the company to consider whether, in the circumstances, some amendment of their by-laws should not be made so far as workmen's cars are concerned.
