HC Deb 28 July 1965 vol 717 c124W
71. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Minister of Transport if he will give a general direction, in the public interest, to British Railways to halt the deterioration of commuter services to London from the South-East, in view of his policy that commuters should be encouraged to travel by train instead of in cars.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. A general direction would be neither appropriate nor helpful in this case.
