HC Deb 23 May 1968 vol 765 cc120-1W
Mr. Tom Boardman

asked the Minister of Transport if he will issue a general direction to British Railways to employ British engineering, surveying and design consultants, in view of the importance of this type of work in the United Kingdom to such consultants to enable them to continue and to increase their contribution to the United Kingdom invisible exports.

Mr. Carmichael

We do not think such a direction necessary or desirable. The Board tell us that they are not using foreign engineering, surveying or design consultants.
