Maximum Speed (Research)

HC Deb 12 July 1967 vol 750 cc91-2W

Mr. Francis Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Transport if she will take steps and authorise expenditure to intensify research for increasing the maximum speed of trains using conventional track up to 150 miles per hour.

Mr. John Morris

The British Railways Board is already engaged on such research. If it wishes to intensify this, my right hon. Friend will be glad to consider its proposals.
