Former MP for Weston-Super-Mare
In view of the shortfall of £900,000 in the winter Supplementary Estimates, what will be the revised estimates for receipts next year?
asked the Minister of Transport if he will announce the name and salary of the chairman of the National Freight Corporation.
Is the Minister aware that we are delighted that at last, as a result of long probing from this side, this excellent appointment has been made—[Interruption.] I am sorry that the hon. Member for Central Ayrshire (Mr. Manuel) is not pleased with the appointment. I am sure that it is an excellent one. Can the Minister say that the transition is taking place in a smooth manner?
asked the Minister of Transport if he will announce the name and salaries of the members of the National Freight Corporation.
Can the Minister tell us how many of these appointments are part-time, how many are functional—[HON. MEMBERS: "The Minister said so."]—the Minister said that one was part-time. Perhaps he can tell us more about it. Could he also say to what extent they are functional—whether, in the case of Mr. Cousins, this will be to look after the labour relations side—or can he give us any further...
Can the hon. Gentleman say when it is proposed to implement the pledge given by the previous Minister of Transport, not at Bassetlaw but at Hull, when she promised that there would be a Humber Bridge?
Can the hon. Gentleman give the figures relating to accidents involving children at such barriers throughout the country?
thought that my hon. Friend would put against that not only the loss on revenue or income but also the change in the cost of collection. I hope that the Minister will give us those figures.
