HC Deb 15 April 1935 vol 300 cc1615-6W
Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been drawn to the number of questions asked recently by certain members of the Indian Legislative Assembly with the object of reflecting discredit on the railway administration and on officers of the railway board; whether any justification for these ques- tions has been found; and what has been the cost of questions and answers on railway administration to the Government of India in 1933, 1934, and up to date in 1935, respectively?

Sir S. HOARE

Questions about the details of railway administration have always formed a considerable proportion of the questions asked in the Legislative Assembly. My hon. and gallant Friend would not expect me to express an opinion regarding the object of the questions. As regards the other points raised, I have no information.
