HC Deb 12 January 1977 vol 923 cc488-9W
40. Mr. Spriggs

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what consultations his Department has carried out with the railway unions and other interested bodies, such as Transport 2000; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. William Rodgers

Arising from the consultation document there has been extensive discussion with many different interested bodies. For example, I myself met the British Railways Board and the three main railway unions in November and my hon. Friend the Under Secretary met Transport 2000 and the British Transport Officers' Guild in December.
