HC Deb 16 June 1982 vol 25 c299W
37. Mr. Straw

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has yet approved proposals for replacing the diesel multiple units used on lines in the North-West.

Mr. Eyre

My right hon. Friend is still considering the railway board's request for authority to build 40 lightweight diesel multiple units. The deployment of rolling stock is a matter for the board.
