HC Deb 10 July 1906 vol 160 c717
MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether the inconvenience and loss resulting to merchants, shippers, cultivators, and the public generally, by the insufficiency of rolling stock on the main lines of railway in India have been brought to his notice; and whether he will take such steps as may be proper and practicable to bring about an improvement in this behalf.

THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOE INDIA (Mr. JOHN ELLIS,) Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe

As the Secretary of State stated in reply to a Question on the 29th March,† this matter has been under consideration, and provision has been made for a large outlay upon rolling-stock during the next three years, which I hope will remove the causes of complaint.
