HC Deb 16 June 1982 vol 25 c299W
39. Mr. Temple-Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when next he intends to meet the chairman of British Rail to discuss industrial problems and productivity on the railways.

Mr. David Howell

I meet the chairman of the railways board frequently to discuss a variety of current issues including industrial problems and the urgent need to improve productivity. The chairman is naturally keeping me in close touch with the progress of negotiations in these vitally important areas.
