§ Captain Anstruther-Grayasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the Great Western Railway, in a district the name of which has been sent to him privately, persist in showing lights during the black-out in spite of protests from local military and civil authorities; and whether he is prepared to take steps in the matter?
§ Sir J. ReithThree railway companies own the two lines in the district referred to, and I recently received representations from a local trade association about lights shown; as a consequence of the action taken at my request by the railway executive committee, the association informed me a fortnight ago that they are now satisfied with the position, but if complaints continue I shall be prepared to reopen the matter. With regard to the other district which my hon. and gallant Friend has mentioned to me, I will have inquiries made and inform him of the result.
