MR TONY

MP AND MR
BOB LINNARD
Q236 Chairman: Minister, you are
most warmly welcome, as always. I seem to have seen you somewhere
before today. Can I ask you, first, to identify yourself and your
colleague?
Mr McNulty: Tony McNulty, Minister
of State for Transport; my colleague is Bob Linnard, who will
tell you what his title is because I cannot remember.
Q237 Chairman: Mr Linnard, what is
your present title?
Mr Linnard: My present title is
Director of Regional and Local Transport Policy, Madam Chairman.
Q238 Chairman: We are delighted to
hear the Department has got one. Did you have something you wanted
to say to us, Minister, before we begin?
Mr McNulty: Just that I would
be delighted to answer your forthcoming questions.
Q239 Chairman: It is very nice how
end-of-term hysteria does relax people, I find.
Mr McNulty: End-of-day, in my
case; it has been one of those days.
Chairman: Can I ask Mr Stringer to start?
