§ Mr. Buchananasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has received the British Railways Board annual report and accounts for 1977; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. William RodgersYes. They were published today. Copies have been laid before the House. It is a report of good progress in 1977, which should encourage all those who believe, with the Government, that the railways have a central and continuing role to play in our transport system. I congratulate the Board and all those who work in the industry.
