* CAPTAIN FABER (Hampshire, Andover)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will state how much of the railway from Smyrna to Akabah is now completed; if there are any breaks in the line, what number; and, if so, of what length each break is.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RUNCIMAN, Dewsbury, for Sir EDWARD GREY)There is direct railway communication between Smyrna and Eregli. Between Eregli and Hama, a distance of approximately 220 miles, there is as yet no railway communication. There is a line open from Hama to Mudevvere, and from this point to Akabah the railway is not completed, and the distance is about 100 miles.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYI must ask for notice of that.
