§ Mr. MarplesI am still considering the question of further appointments to the Nationalised Transport Advisory Council in addition to those I announced in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Truro (Mr. G. Wilson) on 20th March.
I would also refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Truro on 15th May. The Council's first meeting has now been fixed for 27th May. The report on the Reshaping of British Railways will, of course, be available to the Council.
