§ 84. Mr. Francis Noel-Bakerasked the Minister of Transport what steps she has taken to free publicly-owned workshops from restrictions which prevented them from manufacturing equipment for what ever customers were willing to buy from them; what increase in the output of the workshops of British Railways, including Swindon, and of other publicly-owned transport undertakings resulted; if she will issue general directions to these undertakings to prepare to seek additional work, and not to dismantle plant or dismiss labour which will be required for such work; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mr. John MorrisThese restrictions are statutory and can be removed only by legislation. This we will introduce.
