§ 64. Mr. IRVINGasked the Minister of Transport whether the railway companies have inspired articles in the Press; if so, what funds they have used for that pur- 1401 pose; and have any funds contributed to the companies by the Government been used in that manner?
§ Sir E. GEDDESI do not know whether any of the articles in the Press are within the description of "inspired" articles, as my hon. Friend uses the word. If any such propaganda work is done by officers and servants of railway companies, the cost undoubtedly falls on the taxpayer.
