HC Deb 20 December 1944 vol 406 c1763
27. Mr. Jewson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he can now arrange for the better servicing of railway engines, with a view to reducing the waste of time arising from trains not running to schedule.

Mr. Noel-Baker

I am satisfied that railway locomotives are being maintained as well as the shortage of labour and the continuing pressure of war-time traffic now allow.
