asked the Minister of Transport Affairs:
- (1) Whether any major transport facilities were withdrawn in (a) the Transvaal, (b) the Orange Free State, (c) the Cape Province and (d) Natal over the latest specified five-year period for which information is available; if so, (i) what facilities, (ii) when, (iii) why, and (iv) what savings were effected as a result, in each case;
- (2) whether any major transport services currently operated in each of the provinces are uneconomical; if so, (a) what services and (b) at what cost to the taxpayer, in each case?
- (1) Yes, rail and road transport services. Full particulars as requested by the hon member are not readily available and it will take much time and expense to gather such information.
Transport Services, like any other organisation, evaluates its services on a continuous basis and adjustments are made where necessary.
Various suburban and intercity passenger services have been withdrawn as a result of poor patronage and an annual saving of R108 536 093 was effected. Uneconomical rail services over various branch lines have also been replaced by road transport services after efforts to improve the economy of the rail services have failed. In the financial year in which the various services were withdrawn the following savings were effected:

- (2) Yes. Rail passenger services and various branch line services are operated uneconomically. Particulars of the contributions by the Central Government in respect of losses on railway passenger services for the 1986/87 financial year are contained in the Report of the Auditor-General on the Accounts of the South African Transport Services which was tabled on 18 April 1988.
Losses in respect of uneconomical branch lines do not affect the taxpayer as Transport Services bears its own losses.
asked the Minister of Transport Affairs:†
- (1) Whether any officials who fall directly or indirectly under the South African Transport Services undertook any overseas journeys during the past two calendar years; if so, (a) (i) what are their names and (ii) what posts did they hold at the time of these journeys, (b) what was the (i) purpose, (ii) duration and (iii) cost of each journey, (c) when was each journey undertaken, (d) who paid the travelling and subsistence expenses in each case and (e) who gave approval for these journeys;
- (2) whether any of these officials were accompanied by their wives; if so, who paid the travelling and subsistence expenses of these wives?
- (1) Yes. Senior officials of Transport Services undertake overseas journeys from time to time, inter alia, to attend conferences of international railway organisations, investigate the feasibility of new systems under South African conditions, monitor contracts concluded with companies abroad and for the normal execution of their duties. Each visit is subject to my approval except in the case of employees of SA Airways where authority is granted by the Chief Executive (Airways). All subsistence and travelling expenses are borne by Transport Services.
Full particulars as requested by the hon member are not readily available and it will take much time and expense to gather such information.
- (2) Officials are sometimes officially accompanied by their wives in which case Transport Services accepts responsibility for the subsistence and travelling expenses.

Whether the contributions of Transmed members to (a) doctors’ fees and (b) the cost of medication were increased in the past three calendar years; if so, (i) what was the percentage increase, and (ii) on what dates were these increases introduced, in each case?
