§ 101. Sir W. RAEBURNasked the Minister of Transport if he will forthwith issue a Return showing the mileage, capital, and net receipts in the year 1913 of the railways of Great Britain included in Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the Scottish Group of Coll D. 787, giving figures for each of the railways separately, and also the total figures of each group and the expenditure of each such railway in the years 1913 and 1919, and the estimated expenditure for the year 1920, giving the total figures for each group?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Mr. Neal)I will consider the hon. Member's request, with a view, if found practicable, to issuing a statement before next Session which will give particulars as to the position of the companies affected by the Government's proposals. Information in regard to 1920 will, however, not be available by that date, but the question of issuing a subsequent Return will be considered later.
