HC Deb 29 March 1898 vol 55 c1230
MR. W. E. M. TOMLINSON (Preston)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he can say what amount of capital are Indian railway companies expected to raise in London this year under guarantee from the Government and without such guarantees?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA

The amount of capital which Indian railway companies are expected to raise in London during the financial year 1898–99 under the guarantee of the Secretary of State for India in Council is £2,273,000. I have no information as to the amounts that may be raised by the non-guaranteed companies.
