HC Deb 03 March 1965 vol 707 cc241-2W
55. Sir J. Rodgers

asked the Minister of Transport what profit was made, in the latest 12 months for which figures are available, by London Transport, by British Rail outside an 80-mile London radius, and by British Rail within that area, respectively.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The London Transport Board estimates that its balance of revenue for the year 1964 was about £1,300,000. The information sought as regards British Railways is not available, but the Railways Board estimates that it incurred an overall deficit of about £121 million in 1964.

59. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Transport what profit was made, during the latest period of 12 months for which figures are available, by British Rail in Wales; and what was the comparable figure for the previous 12 months.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The Railways Board does not keep its accounts on a basis which enables it to calculate the financial results of its operations in Wales.
