§ 47. Mr. BARCLAY-HARVEYasked the Postmaster-General on how many occasions the 8.30 postal train was more than 15 minutes late at Perth and Aberdeen, respectively, during the months of May and June, 1928; and on how many of these occasions it missed the connection at Aberdeen?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONDuring the period in question the lateness of the train at Perth and Aberdeen on week-days exceeded 15 minutes on 11 and nine occasions, respectively; the mails failed to connect at Aberdeen with the Keith-Elgin and Deeside trains on five occasions, and with the Buchan train on two occasions.
§ Captain GARRO-JONESAre any monetary penalties imposed on the railway companies if these occasions become too frequent?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONI should require notice of that question.
