HC Deb 02 May 1968 vol 763 c237W
Mr. Gardner

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will make an announcement about the future of the freightliner system.

Mr. Tom McMillan

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has yet approved the Railway's Board's proposals to relieve the congestion at the Glasgow freightliner terminal.

Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Minister of Transport when he will announce his decision on the Railways Board's proposals to extend the freightliner system.

Mr. Marsh

I have now approved the Railway's Board's proposals for further extension of the freightliner system. Five new terminals will be built and three others, including Glasgow, expanded. The total cost, including the associated wagons, containers and equipment, is £12.3 million.
