§ 48. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister whether it is proposed to introduce legislation this Session for the amalgamation of the existing railway systems as outlined in Cmd. 787; whether separate Bills will be introduced for the fusion of each rail- 1444 way; and will Bills be introduced in the House of Commons or in another place?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIt is hoped that a Bill may be introduced in the autumn the details of which it is proposed to discuss with the interests concerned before introduction. It is hoped that separate Bills will not be necessary for each amalgamation.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYWill the right hon. Gentleman answer the third part of the question?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIt is too soon to decide; in all probability in this House.
