Mr. KILEYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the state of the tram way lines in the Burdett Road, Mile End; whether he is aware that, owing to a dispute between the Metropolitan Borough of Stepney and the London County Council as to whether the system shall be reconstructed on the conduit or overhead system, the district has been without a tram way service for the past five years; and if he proposes to take any action thereon?
The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Bridge-man)My right hon. Friend has no power to intervene in this matter, but he is calling the attention of the councils concerned to the hon. Gentleman's question.
