asked the Secretary of State for India what steps have been taken by the Government of India to carry out the recommendation of the Indian Railway Committee of 1920 with a view to the establishment of a new department to be responsible for all types of transport and communications in British India?

Mr. BENN

The Railway Board was reorganised generally on the lines recommended in the Acworth Committee's Report, but the Committee's recommendation for the establishment of a new department of communications was not adopted.
