HC Deb 07 August 1919 vol 119 c553
95. Mr. MARSHALL STEVENS

asked the President of the Board of Trade why a, revision of railway rates and charges is not now being proceeded with by the appointment of a Committee identical with the Committee referred to in Clause 3, Sub-section. (3, a), of the Ministry of Ways and Communications Bill?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The Committee which it is proposed to establish under the provisions referred to in the Ministry of Ways and Communications Bill cannot be set up until those provisions have become law, and that event cannot be anticipated.

Mr. STEVENS

I referred to an identically similar Committee.

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I think my answer will cover that.
