§ 10. Sir PHILIP MAGNUSasked the President of the Board of Trade if he has any information as to the intentions of the District Railway Company to re-open for passengers the subway between the South Kensington railway station and the district post office; and whether he can state the conditions under which facilities for constructing that subway were obtained?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI am making inquiries on this matter and will let the hon. Baronet know the result. I do not think the subway was constructed originally in order to give access to the district post office.
§ Sir P. MAGNUSCan the hon. Gentleman induce the President of the Board of Trade to bring some pressure 864 to bear upon the railway company tore-open this subway, the closing of which at present is causing great inconvenience not to the district post office, but to the University of London and to the Imperial Institute?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANYes, Sir; all these things are questions of expense, and they have to be very carefully considered.
