§ MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has yet had an opportunity of inspecting the working model of Mr. Brennan's Gyroscope Mono-Railway at Chatham, with the view to its application in opening out country in East and West Africa.
§ THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Colonel SEELY,) Liverpool, AbercrombyI understand that my predecessor has inspected the model, and it has also been inspected by officers with experience of the conditions of tropical Africa. Until the invention has been tested in a practical manner, in this country, it is not possible to obtain a definite report as to its suitability to those conditions.
§ MR. ARTHUR LEE (Hampshire, Fareham)asked whether the model in question was a full-size working model, and whether the hon. Gentleman would afford facilities for Members of the House to see it.
§ COLONEL SEELYIt is a most interesting invention, and I will consider whether it will be possible to provide facilities for hon. Members to see it.
