To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many applications for consents to transfers of relics, records or premises under section 144(1)(b) of the Transport Act 1968 he has received since the Act came into force; and if he will give details of those (a) to which he has consented and (b) which related to the area of the former Great Western Railway.

We have received no applications for such consents in recent years. Records are not readily available for earlier periods.
