§ Mr. Selleyasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that there is an acute shortage of railway wagons at Whitstable and Teignmouth, which is causing delay, expense, and inconvenience to receivers of coastwise cargoes and coastwise shipping; and what immediate steps are being taken to remedy the position?
§ Mr. BurginI am forwarding for my hon. Friend's information a copy of the statements I have obtained from the railway companies on the subject. In each case, it appears that there has been one recent instance of difficulty, in regard to wagon supply, for a short period only.
