HC Deb 20 February 1885 vol 294 c913
SIR HENEY TYLER

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, To inform the House generally of the progress that has been made with the Rail-way from Sibi to Quetta; and, whether it is now the intention of Her Majesty's Government to construct a Railway also in the direction of Candahar?

MR. J. K. CROSS

I will ask the hon. Member to postpone his Question for a few days, as a despatch on this subject, which left India on the 3rd of February, and will therefore be here in a few days, will enable me to give the latest details. I may state, however, that there is no intention to take the railway beyond the Pishin plateau.
