71. Colonel THORNEasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that there is a big demand by the travelling public on the Great Eastern Railway to open the Bishops gate Street Station because there are some thousands of people who are put to a good deal of inconvenience every day who have to travel to Liverpool Street Station on account of the Bishops gate Street Station being closed; if he is aware that in pre-war days thousands of people used to go to and from the station in question; and if he will make representations to the Great Eastern Railway Company with a view to having the suburban side of the station opened at the earliest opportunity?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI will make inquiries, and inform the hon. Gentleman of the result.
