HC Deb 20 June 1979 vol 968 c557W
44. Mr. Cryer

asked the Minister of Transport what representations he has received regarding the replacement of diesel multiple units on British Railways.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I have received a number of letters on this matter, but it is for the Railways Board to decide its own investment priorities in the light of operational requirements and available funds. The hon. Member may also like to refer to the debate on the Adjournment for 12 June in which I spoke about the replacement of diesel multiple units.—[Vol. 968, c. 407–8.]
