HC Deb 10 July 1917 vol 95 cc1722-3
22. Mr. JAMES MASON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether there is a considerable number of Belgian locomotives in good repair in France which are not being used; what is the reason why they are not used; and whether, in view of the depletion of loco motives from British railways, he will consider the desirability of making full use of all this Belgian rolling stock, either by purchasing it or guaranteeing its replacement after the War?

Mr. MACPHERSON

There is no considerable number of Belgian locomotives of suitable types in good repair in France which are not being used
