Mr. David Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he next intends to meet the chairman of British Rail to discuss forward planning by the board.

I met the chairman of British Rail on 15 November and we discussed a number of railway matters. Planning is a matter for the board, acting on lines settled from time to time with me.
