HC Deb 05 April 1944 vol 398 c2019W
Mr. Driberg

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport, if in planning the post-war reorganisation and development of the British railways, he will bear in mind the practice in force in New York City, where all trains are transferred in the outer suburbs from steam to electric traction, thus abating the smoke nuisance within the city.

Mr. Noel-Baker

Yes, Sir.
