HC Deb 17 July 1967 vol 750 cc186-7W
Mr. Spriggs

asked the Minister of Transport whether she will seek powers to set up a special inspectorate to inquire into, and to report direct to her, any major railway traffic problems raised by hon. Members, who require answers for constituency and parliamentary business, and to enable such an inspectorate to require persons and organisations to give any necessary information.

Mr. John Morris

Such an arrangement is unnecessary, and would tend to undermine the responsibility of the Railways Board for day-to-day management. The Railways Board is always ready to help hon. Members who approach them on such matters.
