HC Deb 11 July 1983 vol 45 c243W
2. Mr. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has any plans for the introduction of private capital, including share ownership by management and employees, into the corporate structure of certain profitable railway lines.

Mr. David Mitchell

We want the British Railways Board to introduce private capital into the railway business where practicable and economic, and it is currently considering ways of doing so.
