§ Mr. HANNONasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the provisions of the Railways Act, 1921, he can state the gross and the net earnings of the British railways now grouped for the years 1913–14 and 1923–24, respectively?
§ Colonel ASHLEYThe information in respect of the years 1913 and 1923, which my hon. Friend presumably desires, will he found in the Annual Railway Returns for the year 1923. I hope to issue a preliminary return about the end of this month which will show the information sought for the year 1924.
