HC Deb 27 June 1977 vol 934 c37W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what evaluation he has made of the "Stag" vehicle mounted container crane and the "Railbox" concept in his evaluation of the future of British Railways freight services.

Mr. William Rodgers

Evaluation of new concepts such as these is a matter for the Railways Board. I understand that they have studied both systems and found them to be unsuitable for their rail freight operations.
