HC Deb 30 August 1895 vol 36 cc1247-8
SIR JOHN KENNAWAY (Devon, Honiton)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, if the Government have decided on the adoption of the three-foot gauge on the Mombasa-Uganda Railway, rather than on the three-and-a-half foot gauge, now approved for railways in South Africa, whose extension northwards may be ultimately expected; and what will be the estimated saving per mile on the narrower gauge?

* MR. GEORGE CURZON

If my hon. Friend will allow me, I will answer his question in the course of the statement on the Uganda Railway, which I shall presently make.
