§ Mr. INSKIPasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the Great Western Railway Company have issued instructions to their agents to furnish no particulars as to the movements of traders' wagons, and that traders are in consequence prevented from tracing wagons which have been lost on the railway system; and whether this attitude on the part of the railway management concerned has his sanction?
§ Mr. NEALNo new instructions to the effect named have been issued, and in view of the great amount of clerical work which would be involved, I regret that it is net possible for the present to alter the instructions which have been in force during the War. But the companies will, I am sure, give any information which is reasonably possible as regards wagons which are long overdue.
