§ Mr. FIELDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that many years ago Irish Members of Parliament were enabled to get season tickets at a low rate, and that now the granting of a free ticket does not involve the railway companies in any loss; whether he is aware that the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company are quite willing, although not in the favourable position of the railway companies, to agree, so far as they are concerned, to the issue of these free tickets; and if he will in these circumstances have the matter re-considered, and free travelling facilities granted to the Irish Members of Parliament at least during the Session?
§ Mr. WARDLEI am afraid that I cannot add to previous replies on this subject.
