HC Deb 14 July 1914 vol 64 c1697
41. Sir GEORGE SCOTT ROBERTSON

asked what progress has been made with the Post Office underground electric railway, and how much money has been spent upon its construction up to date?

Captain NORTON

My right hon. Friend hopes shortly to be in a position to invite tenders for the construction of the tunnel, and an experimental track is being constructed on War Office property, so that certain tests may be carried out before inviting tenders for electrical equipment. Up to the present date, therefore, no money has been spent upon actual construction.

Sir G. YOUNGER

Is this an extension of the system recently established between the Front Opposition Bench and the Whips' Room?

Captain NORTON

I do not understand the question.

Sir G. YOUNGER

I mean between the Government Bench and the Whips' Room?

Captain NORTON

I do not understand the question.
