HC Deb 13 May 1919 vol 115 c1446
89. Sir WILLIAM SEAGER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the Royal Agricultural Society will hold their first show since the War at Cardiff on 24th to 28th June, inclusive; if he is aware that considerable anxiety exists owing to the unsatisfactory replies from the Railway Executive as to the facilities that will be provided by the railway companies; and, in view of the great importance of the encouragement of agriculture in this country, will he take such steps as will ensure adequate facilities for passenger traffic?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have communicated with the Railway Executive Committee on this matter, and they assure me that the railway companies have said that they will do everything they possibly can to facilitate the transit of visitors and goods to and from the agricultural show.
