§ MR. W. THORNEI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the Departmental Committee on Railway Rates will be prepared to consider the question of passengers, bicycles being included in the statutory allowance of luggage as in other countries.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. CHURCHILL,) DundeeI presume my hon. friend refers to the Railway Conference at present considering certain general questions relating to railway traffic and organisation. I doubt if the Conference will be prepared to take up the subject of rates and conditions of carriage of particular articles.
