HC Deb 21 May 1895 vol 33 c1718
SIR JAMES KITSON (York, W.R., Colne Valley)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he has arrived at any decision on the proposals for the construction of the Delhi Samarsata Railway, the tenders for which were submitted last year; and, if not, will he state when a decision will be come to, in order that the existing favourable conditions of finance and favourable markets for materials may be taken advantage of in the interests of India?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. HENRY FOWLER,) Wolverhampton, E.

Revised tenders for the construction of the Delhi Samarsata Railway are now before the Secretary of State in Council, and I have every reason to think that a decision on them will be arrived at early next week.
