§ 35 and 36. Mr. Croslandasked the Minister of Transport (1) if he will issue a general direction to the British Railways Board not to withdraw any major category of goods service without giving at least a year's notice to the trades likely to be directly affected by the withdrawal.
(2) if he will give a general direction to the British Railways Board that, where they propose to increase freight charges by 100 per cent. or over, they shall give the trades concerned at least a year's notice of the increase in charges.
§ Mr. GalbraithThey both concern matters of railway management for which the British Railways Board is responsible. In neither case would a general direction from my right hon. Friend be appropriate.
