§ Major ENTWISTLEasked the Minister of Transport the quantity of rolling stock still remaining overseas; if any of. the stock in France was sold to that country; and what is the comparison between our pre-War rolling stock and our present?
§ Mr. NEALOf British railway-owned wagons sent to France and Belgium about 2,000 remain to be returned. These are being traced and returned by the military authorities, but it must necessarily be a matter of some difficulty to ascertain the whereabouts of them all. The second part of the question should be addressed to the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given to a somewhat similar question by the hon. Member for Kennington (Mr. Purchase) on the 2nd of August, of which I am sending him a copy.
