HC Deb 17 February 1919 vol 112 c527
7. Mr. DENISON-PENDER

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the congestion of passengers on suburban trains and the consequent discomfort to the workers travelling home after their day's work; and, if so, whether he can make any statement as to what steps he proposes to take to improve matters?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I am aware of the congestion on suburban passenger trains, but I am afraid that, owing to the exceptional conditions at present existing, an immediate remedy for the inconvenience caused by overcrowding on those trains is very difficult, to provide.
