§ 27. Sir R. THOMASasked the Minister of Transport whether, having regard to the increasing importance of the traffic between the Midlands and West Wales, he is prepared to devote fresh consideration to the proposal to build a connecting railway from New Radnor to Crosswood with a view to improving railway communication with Mid-Wales?
§ Colonel ASHLEYIt does not appear that the cost of constructing a railway between the places which the hon. Member mentions would be commercially justified, and I am not in a position to provide funds for this purpose.
