Mr. Arnold

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to encourage British Railways export potential for securing export contracts in countries of the East African community other than Kenya.

Mr. William Rodgers

The Railways Board has assured me that it intends to pursue export opportunities with vigour, and, as 1 told my hon. Friends the Members for Edinburgh, Central (Mr. Cook) and for Glasgow, Springburn (Mr. Buchanan) on 6th April—[Vol. 929, c. 1209]—I shall do whatever I can to support its initiatives.
