§ Mr. ORDE-POWLETTasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, having regard to the decision of the Court of Appeal in Darlaston Local Board v. London and North-Western Railway Company (1894) 2 Q. B. 694, he will introduce legislation to empower local authorities to raise before the Railway Commissioners questions relating to the closing of railway stations?
Mr. BUXTONI do not understand that the decision referred to would altogether debar local authorities from raising such questions before the Railway and Canal Commission. In any case, I cannot at present undertake to introduce legislation on the subject.
