§ SIR MARK STEWARTI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if it is intended that the rate of interest 238 —namely, 3½ per cent, to be paid on the Government loans to light railways, will also provide for a Sinking Fund; and, if so, how many years will it take to pay off the amount borrowed?
§ MR. RITCHIEThe section does not provide for a Sinking Fund.
