§ 70. Mr. Bradleyasked the Minister of Transport which former members of the British Railways Board have been retained in a consultative capacity; and at what salaries.
§ Mr. John Morris:This is a matter of management for the British Railways Board.
§ Mr. Boyd-Carpenterasked the Minister of Transport whether she will appoint to the Railways Board a man with experience of large scale industrial organisation for the purpose of securing a review of the higher executive personnel and methods of administration of the Southern Region of British Railways.
§ Mr. John Morris:My right hon. Friend has in mind the need for such experience in selecting Board members but it would not be appropriate to give any member such a specific remit. The organisation and administration of railway regions are the responsibility of the regional management and the Railways Board as a whole.
