HC Deb 01 May 1923 vol 163 cc1163-4
39. Mr. BECKER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport if, in view of the anticipated rush of visitors to Richmond during the coming summer, he will make representations to the District Railway to increase the service of trains to Richmond?

Colonel ASHLEY

I have no doubt that the railway companies concerned have this question under consideration, but I am forwarding the hon. Member's question to them.

Mr. SHINWELL

Will adequate police arrangements be made to protect the residents of Richmond?

Mr. DARBISHIRE

Is there any possibility of the District Railway engaging the services of Mr. Winter of the British Empire Exhibition for this purpose?
