Mr. Mitchellasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that frequently on the underground lines the doors of compartments are left open between stations, thereby causing discomfort, and even danger, to passengers; and whether he will consult with the London Passenger Transport Board with a view to introducing without delay, throughout its whole system, automatic-closing doors which have just been experimentally tested?
§ Mr. BurginI was not aware of this practice but I am in communication with the London Passenger Transport Board on the matter and will inform my hon. Friend of the result as soon as possible.
