Catalogue description Reports of Committees

Parliamentary and departmental reports relating mainly to railways.

The early part of the series comprises reports, mostly with extensive minutes of evidence of Parliamentary Select Committees, some concerned directly, some only indirectly with matters in which the railway and canal companies had interest. The type of material gradually broadens to encompass reports of government appointed committees, statements of government policy, and other governmental, rather than Parliamentary papers, and to include road vehicles and air transport among the subjects covered.
