§ Mr. JAMES THOMASasked the resident of the Board of Trade whether lie is aware that the North British Railway Company are running workmen's trains into Glasgow with nineteen and twenty vehicles, with the result that the rear part of the train is standing in the tunnel; that, contrary to the company's rules and regulations, the guard has to leave the van and expose himself to danger with a view of preventing passengers from being injured; and that, although this practice has been repeatedly reported to the; officials in charge, no alteration has taken place; and what action he proposes to take?
Mr. ROBERTSONI have not received any complaint on the subject raised in this question, but I have communicated with the railway company in regard to it and will inform my hon. Friend of the result in due course.
