HC Deb 10 March 1969 vol 779 c211W
60. Mr. Harry Howarth

asked the Minister of Transport what proposals have been submitted to him by the Railways Board under the terms of Section 48(4) of the Transport Act, 1968; and what steps he is taking to satisfy himself that the Workshops Division of the Railways Board has a selling organisation equipped to make use of the powers granted under Section 48.

Mr. Carmichael

My right hon. Friend has not yet received proposals from the Railways Board under Section 48(4) of the 1968 Transport Act, but expects to do so within the next few weeks. The setting up of a selling organisation would be a matter of management for the Board.
