Mr. C. WILSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade the average tonnage of freight trains in the years 1908, 1913, 1919, 1924, and 1929?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I have been asked to reply. Prior to 1920 the average net load of freight trains in Great Britain was not known, but the figures for the years 1920, 1924, and 1929, were as follows:

Year. Tons.
1920 … … … 132.49
1924 … … … 132.64
1929 … … … 130.90
