HC Deb 15 December 1919 vol 123 c12
34. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the fact that some of the platforms on the City and South London Tube Railway are still constructed of wood; and whether, in the interest of public safety, he can call on the tube company to reconstruct these platforms in some non-inflammable material?

Mr. NEAL

I am aware that wooden platforms exist on the older sections of this railway. These will be reconstructed in non-inflammable material in connection with the pending widening of the tunnels.
