§ Earl WINTERTONasked the Minister of Transport if provision will be made for a representative of the different associations of railway passengers and season-ticket holders throughout the country to sit on the local railway wages boards under the new scheme?
§ Mr. NEALThe local bodies referred to will deal only with questions arising locally as regards the wages and conditions of service of railwaymen in a particular locality, and I do not think that associations such as those referred to in the Noble Lord's question could render useful assistance in such matters.
