§ Mr. W. R. Duckworthasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he has any information as to the price of the locomotives and tenders which have been ordered by the Egyptian State railways from Poland; whether there was any British tender; and, if so, how the latter compares with the Polish tender?
§ Mr. R. S. HudsonI understand that the price of the locomotives and tenders ordered by the Egyptian State railways from Poland to which my hon. Friend refers was £E7,580 per unit. British firms quoted for this business but their prices were higher.
