HC Deb 28 March 1961 vol 637 c126W
Mr. McLaren

asked the Minister of Transport to what extent it is the policy of Her Majesty's Government that the proposed British Railways Board should manufacture all its own locomotives and rolling stock.

Mr. Marples

At this stage it is envisaged only that the Railways Board shall be given, like the British Transport Commission, the statutory power to manufacture. It is too soon to say how far this power will be exercised.
