HC Deb 27 October 1976 vol 918 c253W
45. Mr. Budgen

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the current overall loss of British Railways; and whether he will make a statement.

55. Mr. Neubert

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the current overall loss of British Railways; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. William Rodgers

The Board's report and accounts for 1975, which were laid before Parliament on 12th May 1976, sowed a loss before extraordinary items of £60.8 million. I expect the corresponding loss in 1976 to be smaller.

47. Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he is satisfied with the commercial and financial management policies of British Railways.

Mr. William Rodgers

I am rarely satisfied with anything, but otherwise the answer is "Yes".
