HC Deb 22 November 1966 vol 736 c285W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Transport if, in the consideration she is giving to a new Transport Bill, she will give particular attention to the need to bring the operation of both railway freight and passenger services within the direct control of her Department.

Mrs. Castle

No. As far as day to day management and operation are concerned I have no intention of departing from the basic principles which, since 1947, have governed the relationship between nationalised Boards and Government Departments.
