asked the Minister of Transport what provision was made, in the scheme to which he gave capital sanction, for expenditure on the Peter House office, the Sun Light House offices, and other offices in Manchester, respectively; and how many Manchester offices are included in the scheme altogether.

I am informed by the British Transport Commission that the London Midland Region undertook certain office works in the Manchester area, for which my approval was not required, as part of its scheme for decentralising traffic organisation.
