HC Deb 12 February 1917 vol 90 c242
4. Mr. W. THORNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he could state what approximate amount of passengers and tonnage has been carried over the Metropolitan District Railway for military or naval purposes for the year ending December, 1916, specifying separately particulars of the Inner Circle section?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. George Roberts)

The information desired by my hon. Friend is not available, and I do not think that in the present circumstances the work involved in the extraction of these figures would be justified by their value.
