Exports (Reduced Rates)

HC Deb 16 June 1965 vol 714 c74W

44. Mr. Box

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will, in the national interest, give a general direction to the Railways Board requiring them to negotiate special reduced rates for the carriage of exports between the factory and port of despatch overseas.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. But the British Railways Board through their special Export Express Service are already making a valuable contribution in the export field.
