HC Deb 03 June 1981 vol 5 c373W
42. Mr. Bagier

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what action he has taken to preserve the value of public assets vested in British Transport hotels.

Mr. Fowler

The maintenance and operation of British Transport Hotels is a matter for the Railways Board. The businesses have suffered from the inevitable competition for public, sector investment, and the board is developing proposals that will allow the introduction of private sector capital.
