§ MR. EDWARD GOULDING (Wilts, Devizes)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury can he now state whether the Treasury are prepared to release the 502 mortgage on the Waterford Dungarvan and Lismore Railway in favour of either the Company or the ratepayers; if not, is it proposed to take any, and what, steps to enforce payment of the debt?
§ MR. HANBURYIt is not proposed to ask Parliament to release the mortgage on the Waterford Dungarvan and Lismore Railway, a course for which no adequate reason exists. But it is hoped that an arrangement may shortly be concluded which will prove of great benefit to the whole of the district served by this railway.
