HC Deb 25 May 1909 vol 5 c1014
Mr. WARDLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a working agreement has been arrived at between the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway Company and the Great Western Railway Company; whether he has a. copy of such agreement; and, if not, will he endeavour to procure one; and will he lay a copy of such agreement upon the Table of this House?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am aware of the existence of this agreement. The companies concerned are not under any obligation to deposit a copy of such an agreement at the Board of Trade, and the Board have no power to require them to do so.

Mr. WARLE

Will the right hon. Gentleman ask them if they will do it?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I will bring under their notice the question of the hon. Member.
