HC Deb 01 July 1964 vol 697 c230W
73. Mr. Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will reconsider his decision to close the Goole-Selby rail way fine, in view of Dr. Beeching's tour of the line on 17th June and the concern expressed by local people.

Mr. Marples

No. My decision to consent to the Railways Board's closure proposal was given after the fullest consideration of representations from users and of the effects that closure could have.
