§ Captain A. Grahamasked the Home Secretary whether he will reinforce the police in the Bath neighbourhood, or take such other measures as may be necessary, to ensure adequate control over the drunken Irish labourers who, molesting both soldiers and civilians, have caused at least one fatal accident at Bath railway station?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonThere has been one fatal accident at Bath railway station which occurred during the black-out period. The inquest, I am told, failed to disclose the cause of the fatality. As regards the general behaviour of the workmen employed near Bath, my inquiries have not shown that there is any need for strengthening the police force who are well able to cope with the situation.
