§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONThe railway company communicated with the Development (Public Utility) Advisory Committee with regard to this scheme nearly a year ago, but in reply to recent inquiries made by the committee, the company have stated that they are not yet in a position to say whether they will be able to proceed with the work in the near future.
