HC Deb 06 July 1920 vol 131 c1228
47. Mr. WATERSON

asked the Prime Minister if any steps have been taken to put into operation the Resolution passed in this House on 2nd March last relating to the inadequacy of the pensions paid to superannuated railway servants?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Mr. Neal)

I have been asked to answer this question, and I would refer the hon. Member to the replies given to the hon. and gallant Member for St. Pancras South-West on the 1st instant, and to the hon. Member for Watford on the 28th ultimo.

Mr. WATERSON

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that these replies are simply negatives? We want to know what is being done by the Department.

Mr. NEAL

The Department has no powers to do anything. The matter is one for the railway companies.
