§ 94. Sir H. Williamsasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why, in the Annual Abstract of Statistics, there is not included the table of receipts and expenditure of the nationalised railways similar to the statistics for the companies that used to appear in the Statistical Abstract of the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterBecause of the difficulties of obtaining comparable figures for periods before the establishment of the Railway Executive of the 95W British Transport Commission, no continuous series of figures was available until recently. Monthly details of traffic receipts since 1948 are given in the Monthly Digest of Statistics.
