HC Deb 10 July 1928 vol 219 c2042
35. Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made in reducing the number of privately-owned rolling stock on the railways as distinct from railway-owned stock?

Colonel ASHLEY

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which I gave him on the 5th March last. The census of privately-owned wagons, to which I then referred, is not yet complete, and I am, therefore, not in a position to say whether the number of such wagons has been reduced.
