730. GENERAL MATTERS OF POLICY
1. Programme of Diesel Multiple
Unit Operation
(a) Position of schemes still to be
submitted
Mr.Gould stated that a further departmental meeting had been held
on December 17th at which there was broad agreement with the Accountant and
Chief Civil Engineer on the target dates. A new schedule was in course
of preparation which would show only minor alterations from the schedule of
November 18th and would not amend the building programmes. In reply to
the Chairman Mr.Gould said that the target dates on the new schedule would be
firm.
(b) Works Building Programme, 1961
Statements of present and future requirements of diesel multiple
units (attached as appendix 'B') were considered. Mr.Randle intimated
that the 228 vehicles to be built in 1961 met the Works programme, but
stressed the necessity for authority for vehicles for individual schemes to be
given progressively up to June, 1960, to enable ordering of materials to be
planned.
