HC Deb 16 October 1940 vol 365 c714W
Mr. Mander

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now publish full details of the financial agreement between the Government and the railway companies, with a view to removing misconception?

Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

The agreement is now in draft and under consideration by the parties. It will be necessary to take into account recent developments, including the statement made by the Prime Minister on 8th October regarding the Government's plan for dealing with war damage. I regret, therefore, that I am not yet in a position to say when the agreement will be published. I am not aware that there is any ground for misconception as to the arrangements published in outline in Command Paper 6168.
