§ Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Transport if, in the national interest, he will give general directions to those boards which have been given the responsibilities of the former British Transport Commission to publish the figures of the total salaries and wages bill of the Commission as a whole and of British 98W Railways separately in 1962, stating how much in each case has been charged to revenue account.
§ Mr. MarplesNo. I have, however, asked the British Railways Board, as the undertaking responsible for the final report and accounts of the British Transport Commission, if they can provide the hon. Member with this information. I shall also bear this point in mind in deciding the particulars to be contained in the Board's own annual statements of accounts in future.
