§ Mr. HUME-WILLIAMSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the desirability of issuing a regulation to the effect that, wherever a railway is crossed by a main road at a level crossing, the gates opening across the railway shall be manipulated by a lever operating both sides simultaneously and placed either in a signalman's box or in some sheltered spot so that the public may have less time to wait and the railway employé be enabled to work under shelter?
§ Mr. BURNSThe arrangement described is a common one at important level cross-1290W ings, but the Board of Trade have no general power to make such a regulation as is suggested. I will, however, call the attention of the railway companies to the hon. Member's suggestion.
