§ 90. Mr. Murrayasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that there is only one general waiting room with two chairs and seats around the wall at King's Cross station, London; that on Thursday evening, 18th July, and Friday morning, 19th July, soldiers and sailors were lying asleep on the table and the floor; and if he will go into this matter with the L.N.E.R. and endeavour to provide facilities for these Servicemen and the general public.
§ Mr. BarnesThe general waiting room at King's Cross has seats around the walls which will accommodate about 30 people and additional chairs are being provided as supplies become available. There is also a ladies' waiting room which is kept open all night; a second ladies' waiting room was destroyed by enemy action. There was a rest room for the Forces in the Salvation Army Canteen with 2476W bunks, but this was closed down about a month ago owing, I understand, to the little use that was being made of it.
