HC Deb 24 February 1986 vol 92 c457W
22. Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what progress has been made on the recommendations in the Serpell report regarding the future management of railway workshops as it relates to the Eastleigh railway workshop.

Mr. David Mitchell

The Serpell report emphasised that BR's maintenance and repair facilities needed to be reviewed as a whole. The British Railways Board has recently announced a restructuring of British Rail Engineering Ltd. into two separate groups from April 1986, with the Eastleigh works to form part of the BR maintenance group.
