HC Deb 03 March 1921 vol 138 c2048W
Mr. CHARLES EDWARDS

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the danger of single-line railway working, as exemplified in the recent disaster, he will consider the advisability of taking measures to secure the laying of a double track wherever passenger trains are run?

Mr. A. NEAL

I cannot accept as correct the suggestion that single-line working is dangerous, provided, of course, that the regulations governing such working are observed. It is quite impracticable to adopt the suggestion made by my hon. Friend.
