HC Deb 08 December 1919 vol 122 c893
34. Mr. CAIRNS

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that in the waiting-rooms of the North Eastern Railway Company in the Morpeth area there are no fires; and, if so, will he see that during the winter months, in the interest of the public health, fires are made, as the public have to wait over an hour sometimes?

Sir E. GEDDES

I am in communication with the railway company on this matter, but, as the hon. Member is aware, strict economy in coal consumption is still desirable in the national interest.
