§ 24. Mr. ATKEYasked when the system of charging for admission to the platform of the Midland Railway station at Nottingham was first adopted; and what is the amount which has been received by the railway company up to date from this charge?
§ Sir E. GEDDESI am not aware of the date when the Midland Railway Company's Station became a closed one, nor of the amount received by the Company for platform tickets.
§ Mr. WATERSONCan the right hon. Gentleman state the exact amount of money that has been put into the hands of the Government from this system all over the country?
§ Sir E. GEDDESThat would be a very extensive inquiry, and would involve a great deal of time and labour.
§ Mr. BETTERTONIs this the station from which facilities have recently been withdrawn on the ground of expense?
§ Sir E. GEDDESNot recently—a considerable time ago. We have had many questions on thy subject.
