§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy)I bag to ask the Under Secretary of State for India if he can lay Papers upon the Table showing by whom and on what terms the railway direct from Delhi to Umballa and Kalka, at the foot of the hills, has been taken up; whether the use of any part of the Grand Trunk and Bridges has been conceded to the undertakers; and whether anything has been arranged for carrying the rail on into the hills?
THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE TOE INDIA (Sir J. GUEST, Chatham)Papers containing the contract with the Delhi and Kalka Railway were presented to Parliament on the 28th of May, 1889. I believe that the hon. Member will find the Papers in the Library. As to the second paragraph of the question, no use of any part of the Grand Trunk and Bridges has been conceded to the undertakers, so far as the Secretary of State is informed. In regard to the third paragraph, no arrangement has been made for carrying the rail on into the hills.
