CONSERVATIVE TRANSPORT GROUP

The first was at the request of Roger Freeman on the subject of 'Rail Privatisation'.Publications
The CTG produces 'Policy Papers' to which members contribute. We also produce a 'Newsletter' which is sent to members in February, May, July and December. Plus a Conference Special issue in September.
