HC Deb 23 January 1975 vol 884 c490W
Mr. Snape

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will propose setting up statutory machinery for reviewing competitive transport modes in the public sector to avoid wastage of expenditure and needless competition such as at present exists between British Airways and British Rail.

Mr. Mulley

My right hon. Friend has at present no plans to do so. The Civil Aviation Authority and the traffic commissioners already have certain statutory functions in the regulation of transport services.
