§ Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether he will make representations in favour of third-class sleeping carriages upon all railways which give facilities to those travelling at more expensive rates?
§ Lieut.-Colonel ASHLEYI understand that this matter has on several occasions been considered fully by the railway companies in the past, and that the conclusion arrived at has always been that the provision of third-class sleeping accommodation is not commercially feasible. I will, however, bring my hon. Friend's question to the companies' notice.
