HC Deb 22 April 1918 vol 105 cc689-90W
Mr. FFRENCH

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the contemplated curtailment of the train service between Dublin and Wexford; and, as such a change would disarrange business over the whole of South Wexford and leave practically no time for dealing with the English mail, whether he will look into the matter with a view to seeing that the present service is retained?

Mr. WARDLE

The conditions affecting the production and distribution of coal have made it necessary to introduce a severe curtailment in the train services throughout the country, and the British and Irish Railway Executive Committees have been asked to make arrangements accordingly. The attention of the latter Committee has, however, been called to the particular case to which the hon. Member refers.
