HC Deb 19 July 1915 vol 73 cc1174-5
74. Sir A. MARKHAM

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will give the name of the station or stations, or siding or sidings, where railway waggons built by English railway companies for use abroad were sent by the War Office to be inspected; if the practice of sending numbers of waggons long distances to be inspected has ceased; and if waggons are now inspected at the works of the railway companies?

Mr. TENNANT

All railway waggons built by English railway companies for use abroad by the War Office have been inspected at the works where they were built.

Sir A. MARKHAM

That is not my question. I want to know where they were sent for inspection?

Mr. TENNANT

I am informed that all these waggons were inspected at the works where they were built.

Sir A. MARKHAM

From the commencement of the War?

Mr. TENNANT

That is my information.
