§ Major EDWARD WOODasked the Home Secretary whether there is a possibility of proceeding with the construction of a light railway to Kirkby Malzeard, for which an order was granted by the Railway Commissioners in 1906, and thus avoiding the necessity for delaying a proposal that has already received official sanction until the establishment of the Ministry of Ways and Communications?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. The powers granted by the Light Railway Order referred to expired some years ago, and no proposal to proceed with the construction of the line is at present before the Board of Trade.
