§ Mr. BENNETTasked the Home Secretary if he is aware of the extent to which card-sharping is practised on the train services in the Midlands, notably between Rugby and Nottingham; and whether he will call the attention of the railway companies concerned to the need for better supervision?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSOn making inquiry I am informed that no complaints have been received by the police either from the railway companies or from private individuals, and that the railway police state that cardsharping is not practised more extensively in trains travelling between Nottingham and Rugby than on other lines.
