HC Deb 24 February 1919 vol 112 cc1345-6
11. Mr. KENNEDY JONES

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the existing railway controversy, he will lay upon the Table of the House an analytical statement of the rates for goods now charged on the chief British railways, together with a com- parison of the goods rates charged at the present time in France and the United States and before the War in Germany?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

My right hon. Friend doubts whether any reliable and useful analysis and comparison of goods rates could be prepared on the lines suggested by my hon. Friend.
