§ Mr. HANNONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether he is now in a position to state the exact figures of the railway operating returns for January last?
§ Colonel ASHLEYThe delay which has occurred in issuing these returns has been due to the grouping of the railways, but the January figures will be issued at once and I hope that those for subsequent months will become available in published form at short intervals until the arrears are overtaken.
