§ * SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the cessation of work on the Kabul River Railway beyond mile 300 is final, or whether there is still the intention of making progress with the railway after the pacification of the Mohmand country; and, in the latter case, whether he will state what is the reason for the prolongation of the line, and to what stations it is to lead.
§ MR. BUCHANANNo decision has been arrived at as to the prolongation of the Kabul River Railway beyond mile 300, nor is any proposal for such prolongation at present before the Secretary of State.
