In answer to a recent question in the Commons, Barbara Castle, Minister of Transport, said that negotiations on the liner train issue and the admission of private road hauliers to liner train depots was primarily a matter for the Railway Board and the unions. However, she made it quite clear to both sides that she hoped their decision would be in favour of "open" terminals. On this issue Mrs. Castle seems to be echoing Mr. Fraser's words of nine months ago, and appears equally remote from the principle of integration of road and rail transport.
