§ 21. Mr. Walker-Smithasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the frequent unpunctuality of the 7.43 train from Bishop's Stortford to Liverpool Street; and whether steps will be taken to improve the time keeping of this train in particular and of this service in general.
§ Mr. CallaghanThe Railway Executive Committee tells me that the main delays during the last month were because of fog on five days, the failure of a locomotive on another day, and continuing engineering work on the Colchester line. I am afraid that good time-keeping cannot be maintained until the work is finished.
