§ Mr. Powellasked the Minister of Transport why the provision required for the 1964 deficit of the British Railways Board increased from £2 million to £2.9 million between the publication of House of Commons Paper No. 95 and House of Commons Paper No. 117.
§ Mr. Tom FraserThe Railways Board cannot make a precise estimate of its revenue deficit for some weeks after the end of the year. The estimate on which the figure of £2 million was based had to be made in mid-January and has proved to be too low.
