§ Mr. MacVEAGHasked the President of the Board of Trade, whether his attention has been called to the fact that the London and North-Western Railway Company have taken off the refreshment cars from the Irish mail trains, which are subsidised from public funds, but are still running them in connection with trains to Scotland which are not subsidised; and whether he will make representations to the railway company on the subject.
Mr. BUXTONI have communicated with the railway company in this matter, and have received a reply, of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.
§ Mr. MacVEAGHCan the right. hon Gentleman give the substance of the reply and are the facts as stated in the question?
Mr. BUXTONI am sending the hon. Member a copy of the reply, and if he has any further question to ask I will be glad to answer it.
§ Sir GEORGE YOUNGERWill the right hon. Gentleman see that the refreshment cars on the Scottish trains are not stopped?
§ Mr. WARDLEMay I ask whether it is the fact that the railway companies are now refusing to carry minerals?
