HC Deb 10 November 1919 vol 121 c12
21. Mr. CHADWICK

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can now make any statement as to the composition of the Railway Advisory Committee and on the immediate problems on, which it will be called upon to advise; and whether it is his intention to obtain from that body a review of railway policy in general so as to guide the Government in its future attitude towards the railways?

Sir R. WILLIAMS

The composition of the Advisory Committee to take the place of the Railway Executive Committee for the purpose of giving advice to the Government is under consideration, and I regret that it is not possible for the present to make any statement on the subject.

Mr. WATERSON

Can the hon. Gentleman say when we can have that information?

Sir R. WILLIAMS

As soon as it can be done.

Mr. WATERSON

Can the hon. Gentleman give us some idea of the time?

Sir R. WILLIAMS

I am afraid I cannot.
