HC Deb 09 May 1907 vol 174 c345
MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)

To ask the Secretary of State for India whether, in view of the deficiency of rolling stock in India, he will consider the proposal formerly made by the Cawnpore Chamber of Commerce that factories should provide their own goods waggons, and arrange with the railway companies concerned for their use upon hire.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Morley.) So far as I am aware there is nothing to prevent factories or private firms making arrangements with railway companies in India for supplying their own goods waggons, if suitable terms can be agreed to.
