Captain BAGLEY

asked the Minister of Transport if he will give any available information on the following specific points, in each case comparing the present position with pre-war conditions, namely, the number and total carrying capacity of available trucks, the rate of addition to rolling stock per annum, the average possible and actual loads per truck, the average weekly total of tonnage carried and revenue received; the average number of days occupied per truck per load, and the average number of trucks per day on which demurrage charges and sidings rents are chargeable?

Sir E. GEDDES

I propose to deal with the whole question of Wagon Supply in a statement to be made on Thursday next, when I hope to be in a position to supply the hon. Member with the information that he requires.
