HC Deb 01 July 1924 vol 175 c1159W
Viscount EDNAM

asked the Minister of Transport how much of the £60,000,000 granted to the railway companies by the Government in 1921 has been spent by them on the work for which the money, was granted; and whether any of this money has been spent on foreign contracts?

Mr. GOSLING

The lump sum was not specifically referable to particular items of claim, and I am not in a position to state what portions of it have been expended upon works?
