§ MR. T. R. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, whether, in view of the fact that the latest Parliamentary Document on the subject of the proposed West Highland Railway, in Paper 280 of last Session, is dated 29th July 1892, and in it the Treasury declare the proposals of the promoters as quite inadmissible, he will lay upon the Table further Papers to show the grounds on which the Treasury now support the proposed guarantee?
§ MR. HANBURYIf the hon. Member will refer to the Return he quotes, he will see that the scheme which the 676 Treasury rejected in their letter of the 29th July 1892, was very different from the scheme which they approved in their letter of the 16th June 1892 (printed in the same Return), and which it is now proposed to confirm. There having been no change of attitude, there are no further Papers to explain it.
§ MR. BUCHANANasked whether there had been no correspondence since July 29, 1892?
§ MR. HANBURYThe information I have is that there have been no further Papers. I will inquire whether there are any.
