§ 14. Mr. Francis Noel-Bakerasked the Minister of Transport how many snow ploughs the British railways now possess; and whether he is satisfied that this number is adequate.
§ Mr. BarnesThe number of snow plough equipments available for British railways is 427, which has hitherto met requirements.
§ Mr. Noel-BakerIs my right hon. Friend now considering increasing this number in case we have this present kind of weather next year?
§ Mr. BarnesI have stated what, at the moment, are available, but I hope we shall never get any more weather like this.
