§ 76. Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Minister of Transport whether she is aware that the British Railways Board 575W is anticipating Parliamentary approval of Clause 45 of the Transport Bill by tendering for the supply of freight containers to firms other than those for which they are permitted to manufacture by the Transport Act, 1962; and if she will give a general direction to stop this.
§ Mr. John Morris:We are aware that the British Railways Board has tendered for the supply of, and has manufactured, containers for firms with which they are in business association. We have no reason to suppose that this is contrary to the provisions of the 1962 Transport Act.
