HC Deb 18 November 1946 vol 430 c37W
109. Mr. Skeffington

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered the comments made by the Consultative Charges Committee on the accounts as presented by the L.P.T.B.; and whether he is prepared to examine the methods used by this board with a view to introducing a better system of accounting.

Mr. Barnes

The net revenue account submitted by the Board to the Charges Consultative Committee was prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Control Agreement, under which certain settlements between the railways and the Board were rendered unnecessary. While the Agreement remains in force this form of accounting must continue.
