HC Deb 29 July 1908 vol 193 c1508
MR. NANNETTI (Dublin, College Green)

I bog to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the fatality to a lady excursionist at Warrenpoint, County Down, Ireland, on Sunday, 19th July, 1908; whether he is aware of the feeling that exists that had the Great Northern Railway Company taken reasonable precautions this fatality would have been avoided o and whether he will order an inquiry, which will satisfy the public and which may lead to the prevention of such accidents in the future.

MR. CHURCHILL

This accident has boon duly reported to the Board of Trade. No representations have been received indicating that the railway company failed to take reasonable precautions. Both the jury at the coroner's inquest and the police have expressed the opinion that no blame attached to anyone, and I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by a further inquiry.
