HC Deb 30 November 1908 vol 197 cc1078-9
MR. CROOKS

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he will inquire of the Woolwich police as to the working of the privilege cab system at the Arsenal Station; whether it would be in the interest of the travelling public to declare the station an open one; and whether friction is caused by the privileged cabman taking the outside stand in addition to the privilege stand.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. GLADSTONE,) Leeds, W.

I am making the inquiry suggested in the first part of the hon. Member's Question, and if he will permit me, I will defer my reply to the second and third part until it has been completed.
