HC Deb 05 November 1940 vol 365 c1219W
Sir F. Sanderson

asked the Minister of Transport, in view of the fact that our railways constitute the country's largest single asset, in which considerably over £1,000,000,000 is invested by tens of thousands of stockholders and, also, the long-standing complaint of stockholders against the absence of the frequent publication of traffic receipts, to consider whether there is any form of information which he could give monthly to the stockholders and which he would not regard as being against the national interest?

Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

I am afraid that under war conditions there is no information of the nature contemplated by my hon. Friend that I could agree to publish monthly.
