HC Deb 02 June 1902 vol 108 c1112
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he will state to what local authority an application should be addressed in regard to the need of superseding by steamers of modern type the present fifty year old steamers in use at Sara Ghat Ferry.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord G. HAMILTON,) Middlesex, Ealing

The Ferry in question is worked in connection with the Eastern Bengal Railway, and complaints should be addressed to the administration of that railway.

MR. WEIR

Are these steamers leased by the Eastern Bengal Railway?

LORD G. HAMILTON

They are worked in connection with the railway.
