HC Deb 14 April 1885 vol 296 c1632
MR. ONSLOW

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether he could inform the House whether the consideration of the promotion of a Railway between Quetta and Candahar has been recently before the Government; and, if so, what decision has been arrived at?

MR. J. K. CROSS

In reply to the hon. Member for Guildford, I may say that on the 12th of March I informed the hon. Member for Harwich (Sir Henry Tyler) that the railway would be carried on to Shebo and Quetta; but the question of its further extension to Candahar has not yet been under consideration by Her Majesty's Government.

MR. ONSLOW

Has it been under the consideration of the Viceroy?

MR. J. K. CROSS

It may have been under the consideration of the Viceroy; but no determination has been come to in regard to it.
