HC Deb 14 December 1977 vol 941 c274W
50. Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will make a statement on the future of Freightliners within British Railways.

Mr. William Rodgers

I have said to the Chairman of British Rail that I hope the Board will build on the strength of Freightliners, retaining the characteristics of an independent profit centre with a high degree of delegated responsibility. In fact, I understand that this is very much what the Board has in mind.
