15. Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions his Department has had with British Rail concerning proposed closures of freightliner depots.

Mr. David Mitchell

My Department was kept informed by British Rail and its subsidiary, Freightliners Ltd., of the decisions they have taken which were designed to ensure the successful future of the freightliner business.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if, when he next meets the chairman of British Rail, he will raise with him changes in the financial targets for Freightliner depots and their implications for the long term survival of Freightliner.

No. The targets BR sets for its subsidiaries are a matter of management for the board.
