HC Deb 02 June 1919 vol 116 c1695W
Mr. DEVLIN

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that there is a great desire on the part of the workers in Ballymena to have a workmen's train service established between Ballymena and Belfast; whether fares and other arrangements for the running of this train have been agreed upon, but the question is delayed because of the scarcity of coal; whether the amount of coal necessary to run the train would be 2½ tons daily; and whether, in view of the great convenience which would be afforded to the workers. he will take steps to have this workmen's train service established?

Sir A. GEDDES

My right hon. Friend has asked me. to reply to this question. I am making inquiries into the matter, as I have already informed the hon. Gentleman by letter, and will let him know the result.
