§ Major M'LEANasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that there are 500 railway wagons awaiting minor repairs at Immingham Docks and if, owing to the present shortage of railway stock, they can be released?
§ Mr. NEALI am informed that the actual number of wagons at Immingham awaiting minor repairs on the 29th ultimo was 282, and every effort is being made by the Great Central Railway to get the necessary work done and the wagons placed into traffic again. I understand that. some delay is due to the inability of the company to obtain axle boxes and other castings necessary, owing to the iron-moulders' strike.
