Oral Answers to Questions — Transport. – in the House of Commons am ar 6 Gorffennaf 1925.
Sir Herbert Nield
, Ealing
asked the Minister of Transport what are the regulations of the underground and other suburban railways of London with reference to the conveyance of dogs in passenger coaches or compartments; whether he is aware that the comfort of passengers is seriously interfered with by reason of quarrelsome dogs meeting in these public conveyances, particularly when not effectively controlled; and will he cause inquiry to be made and, if necessary, Regulations made to deal with the nuisance?
Lieut-Colonel Wilfrid Ashley
, New Forest and Christchurch
The railway companies byelaws provide, in effect, that dogs shall not be taken into carriages except with the permission of the company, and that they shall be removed on the request of passengers therein. The underground railway companies inform me that they have not noticed the occurrence of incidents such as those to which my right hon. and learned Friend refers, and that they have never received any complaint on the subject.
Mr Leslie Hore-Belisha
, Plymouth, Devonport
Will the right hon. Gentleman apply the same rule to quarrelsome passengers?
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
