HC Deb 31 July 1936 vol 315 c1867W
Mr. CHORLTON

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the conditions laid down by the railway companies before they will carry out the electrification of South Lancashire railways; and if he will endeavour to bring about the federation of the various transport systems to enable this important improvement to be carried out?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I have followed with interest the efforts being made in the direction of co-ordination of transport facilities in this area and have already expressed my views in a letter sent recently to the Town Clerk of Manchester.
