HC Deb 08 March 1917 vol 91 c589W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Irish Railway Committee have come to any decision on the complaints put before them as to the working of the Burtonport Railway; and can he now see his way to recommend an inquiry by the Board of Trade as is provided in the Act of 1898?

Mr. DUKE

I am awaiting a report of the Executive Committee of the Irish Railways with regard to this matter, and in the meantime have given directions which I hope will safeguard the public interest.

Mr. H. LAW

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now in a position to say whether he will grant an inquiry into the working of the Letter-kenny and Burtonport line by the Lough Swilly Railway Company?

Mr. ROBERTS

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply given to his question of the 28th February on this subject, to which at present I am unable to add.
