§ Lieut.-Colonel WILLEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if there exists on the Continent surplus rolling stock, the property of His Majesty's Government, which is not suitable for use in this country; if negotiations for its acquisition by the Polish Government have taken place; and if, in view of the need for the development of British trade and increased facilities for transport between Danzig and Warsaw, he will consider the desirability of sale forthwith to the Polish Government conditional on its use being reserved strictly to this stretch between Danzig and Warsaw?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODThe reply to the first part of the hon. and gallant Member's question is in the negative; as regards the second part, there were until recently certain locomotives for which the Polish Government were negotiating, but as satisfactory financial arrangements could not be made, the negotiations came to an end and the engines were sold to the Belgian Government. The answer to the third part of the question is in the negative.
