§ COLONEL DENNY (Kilmarnock Burghs)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that out of the forty engines placed in Germany by the East India Railway Company, and which were all due to be delivered by August last, only one engine and two tenders have been shipped; and does the India Office intent to ask the East India Railway Company to impose the penalties prescribed in the contract.
(Answered by Secretary Lord George Hamilton.) I am not aware of the facts stated in the Question. As regards the imposition of penalties, that is a matter which must be left to the discretion of the East India Railway Company.
