§ MR. O'DOHERTY (Donegal, N.)To ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he will grant the Return, standing on to-day's Notice Paper, with reference to the Uganda Railway.†
(Answered by Lord Cranborne.) I should be ready to give a Return showing briefly the prices paid for rails, sleepers, girders, locomotives, carriages and bridgework. As, however, the total number of requisitions which have been executed during the past seven years for supplying the Uganda Railway with the various permanent way materials, etc., mentioned
† The Return was as follows: Uganda Railway (Materials), Address for Return giving particulars and dates upon which the permanent way materials, rails, sleepers, rolling stock, and iron bridge work used in the construction of the Uganda Railway were purchased, the firm from whom they were obtained, and the prices paid there for.294 by the hon. Member amounts to no less than 1,082, and as each of these again contains a large number of items, I should hardly feel justified in incurring the expense involved in supplying the elaborate particulars for which the hon. Member has asked.
