HC Deb 24 July 1922 vol 157 cc58-9W
Dr. MURRAY

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether there is now a substantial loss on the Sierra Leone Railway; and what is the proportion of the loss to revenue of 1921?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Yes, Sir, there was a loss in 1921 of £61,000 on a revenue of £162,000, or about 37 per cent. I am sending out an expert to report on the working and management of the railway.
