§ Mr. Neubertasked the Secretary of State for Transport if the committee reviewing the finances of the railways will be taking evidence from sources other than Government Departments and the British Railways Board.
§ Mr. David HowellI understand that the committee has already invited evidence from a number of bodies particularly concerned with the subject of the review and that it will be glad to consider written evidence from other quarters provided that it reaches it by 30 June. In selecting this date the committee has had regard to my expressed hope that it will be able to report in five or six months.
