HC Deb 28 February 1989 vol 148 c115W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will hold talks with the chairman of British Rail about the closure of the longsight overhead line department and the alternative provision of emergency electrification problems in the new region.

Mr. Portillo

No, I see no reason to do so. These are management matters for the British Railways board.
