§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department the number of contracts, together with their value, placed by the Indian State railways in this country, in Germany, and in other foreign countries during the last 10 years?
§ Earl WINTERTONI have been asked to reply. Figures of the number of contracts placed for the Indian State railways in England and other countries are not available, nor can the figures of the aggregate values of the orders so placed be readily given for more than six years. The total figures for the six years ending 31st December, 1928, were:
£ Great Britain 13,030,977 Germany 1,725,191 Other foreign countries 2,254,251
