HC Deb 25 February 1963 vol 672 cc129-30W
Mr. Spriggs

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will give a general direction to the Railways Board to retain wagon sheet production and repairs.

Mr. Marples

No. I am awaiting the proposals for the exercise of its powers to manufacture which the Railways Board is required, under Section 13 (4) of the Transport Act 1962, to submit to me for my approval. Repairs are a matter for the Railways Board and are not covered by Section 13 (4) of the Act.
