HC Deb 09 August 1972 vol 842 c427W
Mr. Michael Cocks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) why he will not make public the material submitted by the Railways Board in support of the Second Report on Organisation which he laid before Parliament on 21st April, in view of the fact that this report is based solely on grounds of managerial efficiency;

(2) if he will place in the House of Commons Library the material submitted by the Railways Board in support of the Second Report on Organisation which he laid before Parliament on 21st April.

Mr. Peyton

Much of the material which the board submitted to me dealt with confidential matters of management, the publication of which would be inappropriate. The board has already given staff representatives and local members a full account of their reasons for the choice of the different territorial headquarters.
