HC Deb 26 June 1986 vol 100 c263W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer of 17 June, if he will now specify the nature of the information requested from British Rail on a purely ad hoc basis as available.

Mr. David Mitchell

The information has been sought in a wide range of contexts; for example, for briefing and to pursue points raised in ministerial correspondence. Details could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
