§ Dr. A. Thompsonasked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the letter from Miss Winifred Blake, forwarded to him by the hon. Member for Dunfermline describing the effects of over-heated diesel train compartments on her lungs; and in view of this further evidence of those harmful effects on persons with chest complaints if he will now invite the British Transport Commission to hold joint consultations with him on this matter.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithI have considered the letter. As I said in my replies to the hon. Member on 28th March and 4th April, the heating of trains is a matter for the British Transport Commission as a matter of day-to-day administration. He may therefore care to get in touch with the Commission.
