asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the number of workmen's trains provided by the District Railway Company travelling to Aldgate East from Barking during the period of from the 2nd February to the 8th February last; and if he can state the total number of carriages provided for the use of passengers on such trains and the approximate number of passengers that could reasonably be carried?

I am asking the railway company if they can furnish this information, and I will communicate with my hon. Friend on receipt of their reply.
