HC Deb 19 October 1973 vol 861 cc324-5W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the annual cost of compensation payable by Her Majesty's Government to British Rail under EEC Regulation 1192/69 where methods of financing discriminate against railways in favour of roads; what aspects are included; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peyton

This will depend on the outcome of the Rail Policy Review.
