HC Deb 31 July 1957 vol 574 cc191-2W
56 and 82. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation (1)whether he will arrange that his promised inquiry into purchases and contracts by the British Transport Commisson shall be held in public;

(2)whether the procedure of the inquiry into certain activities of the British Transport Commission will conform with the recommendations of the Franks Committee, Command Paper No. 218.

Mr. Watkinson

I have nothing to add to my answer to my hon. Friend's supplementary question on 24th July. The Franks Committee was not concerned with this sort of investigation.
