HC Deb 15 December 1925 vol 189 cc1194-5
89. Mr. ELLIS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has received representations with reference to the dangerous condition of the platform of the railway station at Glan Conway, in the County of Denbigh; and whether, in view of the fact that several accidents have already taken place, he will compel the railway company to take steps to remove the danger to which passengers are now exposed?

Colonel ASHLEY

I recently received some representations with regard to this matter, and am in communication with the railway company upon them.

Mr. DAVIES

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he has power to compel the railway company to take steps to prevent these accidents?

Colonel ASHLEY

I should not like to answer a general question such as that, but if the hon. Member will put a specific case I will give him an answer.

Mr. DAVIES

Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware that there were two specific accidents at Glan Conway, and has he no power to take any steps to prevent future accidents?

Colonel ASHLEY

If the hon. Member will put down another question dealing with them, I will give him an answer.
