HC Deb 07 April 1976 vol 909 c164W
31. Mr. Ronald Atkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what consideration he is giving to the statutory arrangements governing the relationships between Her Majesty's Government and British Rail.

Mr. Crosland

The Government considered these in depth in 1974 and took new powers in the Railways Act 1974 which are consistent with EEC obligations.
