§ MR. WEDGWOOD (Newcastle-under-Lyme)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been drawn to the balance-sheet of the accounts of the Uganda Railway, issued as Cd. 4354; and whether these accounts can be presented in future in sufficient detail to show separately the receipts from passengers, goods, Government stores, etc., to show the cost of maintenance and what expenditure on permanent way, etc., has been met out of 972 revenue, and generally on lines more consonant with sound accounting and with the practice of the best railway companies.
§ COLONEL SEELYMy hon. friend will find detailed accounts of the working of the Uganda Railway both in the annual Blue-book Report of the East Africa Protectorate presented to Parliament and in the Railway Report of the Protectorate for the year 1907–8, of which copies may be seen in the Library of the House of Commons.
