The post of Chief Secretary and Legal Adviser was created soon after the establishment of the British Transport Commission. The Chief Secretary had responsibility for the commission's staff and establishment, traffic, works and development, records, legal matters and research. The Chief Secretary reported direct to the commission on an equal footing to the commission's Comptroller and Chief Public Relations and Publicity Officer. The Chief Secretary's post disappeared with the disbandment of the commission. |
