§ MR. DALTON (Donegal, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he can now state when the Government intend to go on with the Stranorlar and Glenties line, passed unanimously by the Grand Jury at the last Spring Assizes, and supported by all sections of the community; and what is the reason of giving precedence to the Killybegs line, which has not received unanimous local support?
§ MR. JACKSONIn answer to the hon. Member's question I have to say that the Government, in the interests of the counties, attach great importance to satisfactory arrangements for working being made, and, if possible, with existing 208 railway companies. No proposals for working have, so far as I know, been put forward in the case of the Stranorlar and Glenties line. Proposals for working have been put forward in the case of the Killybegs line, and, therefore, the negotiations have made more rapid progress.
