HC Deb 19 May 1919 vol 116 c3
3. Major NALL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that inconvenience was caused to passengers to the Isle of Man during the Easter holidays owing to the inadequate arrangements; and whether the Railway Executive Committee will take steps to regulate the traffic more efficiently during the Whitsuntide holidays?

Sir A. GEDDES

The Railway Executive Committee inform me that the railway companies concerned have been asked to do everything that is in their power to meet the convenience of passengers to the Isle of Man at Whitsuntide.

Major NALL

Will that cover the guaranteeing of accommodation on the steamer?

Sir A. GEDDES

No; it could not cover the guaranteeing of accommodation on the steamer.
