Transport Users Consultative Committee

HC Deb 15 December 1992 vol 216 c170W

Mr. Hood

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he has taken on each of the recommendations of the Transport Users Consultative Committee for Scotland contained in its 1991 annual report.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 14 December 1992]: The committee's recommendations on railway issues are a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport. The committee's recommendations on shipping issues relate directly to the operational responsibilities of Caledonian MacBrayne. I understand that the company's existing arrangements for consultation on the design of new vessels, and changes in the pattern of services or timetables are fully in accord with the committee's recommendations.
