§ 42. Mr. CRUMLEYasked the President of the Board of Trade if and when he will take steps to have the present railway charges reduced?
§ Mr. WARDLEI am afraid that I can hold out no prospect of any reduction in railway charges at present.
§ Mr. CRUMLEYHas the right hon. Gentleman taken into consideration the 2288 fact that the Irish people are unable to pay these heavy charges, while the people in this country are earning plenty of money?
§ Mr. WARDLEI would remind the hon. Member that there has been a very large increase of wages in Ireland.
