HC Deb 13 March 1969 vol 779 c321W
31. Mr. Ridley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will state the total cost of his decision to transfer the records of British Rail ways from London to York.

Miss Jennie Lee

The capital cost of the extension to the new Transport Museum at York in order to house the railway records was estimated early in 1967 to be about £60,000. In 1968 it was estimated that the transfer would result in a saving on recurrent costs of about £8,000 a year.
