§ 14. Mr. Leighasked the Secretary of State for Transport what recent representations he has received concerning the privatisation of catering facilities on British Rail.
§ Mr. RidleyI warmly welcome BR's decision to make competition for the provision of train and station catering the priority area for the application of its new criteria for the supply of support services. This is very good news for the consumer. I hope that many private catering firms will put proposals to BR.
