§ Loan J. JOICEY-CECIL (Lincolnshire, Stamford)To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will use his influence with the directors of the Great Northern Railway Company in order to induce them to construct at Peterborough, with as little delay as possible, a subway for luggage and passengers, and by so doing reduce the constant risk to life and limb to which their servants are exposed by having to carry luggage, etc., over the permanent way.
(Answered by Mr. Kearley.) The Board of Trade communicated with the railway company in this matter on receiving notice of the noble Lord's Question, and are informed that there is already a 652 bridge for passengers at Peterborough station, and that the company do not consider a subway for luggage necessary.
