HC Deb 17 February 1919 vol 112 cc526-7
5. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the tramway accident on East Hill, Dartford, on Wednesday, 5th February; and, if so, is he having an investigation made into the cause of the accident?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Yes, Sir. The circumstances of this accident are to be investigated.

Mr. ROWLANDS

Will inquiry be made as to the observance of the conditions laid down as to the way with which the tram is to be worked on account of the steepness of the hill?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Yes.
