§ MR. WILES (Islington, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is still negotiating with the various railway companies having termini in London with reference to the abolition of the privileged cab system; and, if so, whether he can state if he has been successful in coming to a satisfactory arrangement.
§ MR. CHIOZZA MONEYI beg also to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is yet in a position to make a definite statement as to the abolition of the privileged cab system.
§ MR. GLADSTONEThe negotiations with the railway companies in which, as I have already stated in Answer to 358 previous Questions, I have been engaged, have been somewhat prolonged, partly owing to the number of companies concerned. I trust that a satisfactory arrangement may be arrived at. If not I propose to introduce legislation on the subject at an early date.
