HC Deb 12 November 1934 vol 293 cc1526-7W
Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that there is no proper experimental testing station in this country for locomotives and that British locomotives have to be sent to France to be tested; and whether he will take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that the railway companies will collectively establish such a station?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I understand that this matter engaged the attention of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, in conjunction with the railway companies some time ago and is again under consideration.
