HC Deb 26 October 1965 vol 718 c23W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Minister of Transport how many steam locomotives sold for scrap have been reclaimed by British Railways because of the shortage of steam locomotives; and what is the average cost per engine brought back into service.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The Railways Board informs me that there is no shortage of steam locomotives and it has not been necessary to reclaim any previously sold for scrap.
