HC Deb 26 May 1919 vol 116 cc867-8W
Major-General Sir NEWTON MOORE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, supplementary to the Estimates on expenditure on railways already presented, an estimate of the anticipated revenue of the current year can also be supplied to the House?

Sir A. GEDDES

The revenue of the railways for the current year will depend on various circumstances, including re- ceipts from traffic and cost of working, which cannot now be forecast, and I am afraid I cannot give an estimate of the anticipated revenue.
