§ 38. Mr. Ridleyasked the Minister of Transport whether he can now state what financial arrangements have been agreed to between the Government and the rail- 1938 way undertakings now under the control of the Railway Executive Committee?
§ Captain WallaceI have at present nothing to- add to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member on 20th September.
§ Mr. RidleyCan the right hon. and gallant Gentleman say when this information is likely to be available in view of the fact that the existing uncertainty is giving rise to undesirable speculation in railway shares?
§ Captain WallaceI hope that the matter will be settled soon, but I should not like to commit myself to a definite date.
