HC Deb 30 January 1997 vol 289 c360W
Mr. Sutcliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport which of the contracts of the directors of the British Railways Board he plans to terminate early; and how much compensation each will be entitled to. [13426]

Mr. Watts

My right hon. Friend will be reviewing the size and composition of the BR board in the light of its reduced responsibilities following the sale of most of the BR businesses, but he has taken no decision on the early termination of existing board appointments.
