HC Deb 28 July 1919 vol 118 c1790
13. Mr. GILBERT

asked the President of the Board of Trade what principal extra trains are provided for stations available for race meetings; whether the matter is decided by the Railway Executive Committee or by the particular railway company concerned; and, if the latter, whether they have to obtain the consent of the Railway Executive Committee or of the Government before they are permitted to supply the extra trains?

Sir A. GEDDES

The matter is one for the individual companies, who, in providing extra trains for any purpose, have regard to other public requirements. The consent of the Railway Executive Committee is not required.
