MASONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War how many Belgian locomotives in France are not being used; how many of these are suitable for use; whether those which are not suitable for use in France could be utilised elsewhere; and why those which are suitable have not been used while pressure has been put on British railways to unduly deplete their rolling stock?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONTo give my hon. Friend the information which he requests would involve entering into details of negotiations with foreign Governments, which cannot be made public, but I shall be pleased to arrange to give him further information privately if he desires it.
