HC Deb 10 August 1914 vol 65 c2255
Mr. O'DONNELL

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether any representatives from Ireland sit on the Committee now in control of the railways of this country, and, if not, will he, in the interests of Irish trade, take steps to have Ireland properly represented?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

No, Sir. The Order in Council under the powers of which the Executive Committee have been appointed relates only to the railroads in Great Britain.

Mr. O'DONNELL

Who are in charge of the Irish railways at the present moment?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

As far as I know, they remain in the same charge now as they were under a fortnight ago.
