HC Deb 06 November 1945 vol 415 c1236W
Commander Marshal

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps will be taken to see to it that our troops returning on leave from Germany do not find themselves travelling in carriages with broken windows and no lights.

Mr. Lawson

A large amount of Continental rolling stock was destroyed or badly damaged, but repairs are being carried out as quickly as possible. All windows have been repaired with glass or plywood and lighting has been restored in about two-thirds of the coaches.
