§ 67. Mr. LLEWELLYN-JONESasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the condition of the passenger platform at the London, Midland and Scottish Railway station at Flint, which platform is so low that passengers frequently have difficulty in getting in and out of compartments without assistance; and whether, seeing that the railway company have been for many years delaying the carrying out of the alterations essential to make the platform not merely more convenient but also safer for passengers, he will intervene to have the work carried out without delay?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONMy attention has been previously drawn to this matter. I understand that pending the carrying out of certain extensive alterations which are contemplated at and near Flint station, the railway company do not consider it necessary to incur expenditure on the existing platforms.
§ Mr. R. RICHARDSONWill my hon. Friend call the attention of the railway company to the platforms at Tebay and others on that railway?
§ Mr. MORRISONI came to the House ready to deal with Flint station, and I am afraid I cannot deal with the stations mentioned by my hon. Friend without notice.
