HC Deb 12 August 1966 vol 733 c422W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs, what authority he recognises as having de jure control of the Rhodesian railways and of railwaymen's pensions.

Mr. Bowden

For the first part, the Railways Board, which is a statutory corporation established for both Zambia and Southern Rhodesia and which is in certain respects subject to the control of a Higher Authority for the Railways. In the present circumstances there are vacancies in the composition of the Higher Authority which prevent it exercising its functions. For the second part, the Trustees appointed for the various pensions schemes.
