HC Deb 05 December 1911 vol 32 cc1370-1W
Mr. WATT

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the foreign countries that have not taken any action in the way of owning or working or subsidising any part of the railways within their boundaries by means of State funds?

Mr. BUXTON

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. I am not at present able to name any foreign country having a railway system in which Government assistance, in some form, has not at some time been given towards construction or working.
