HC Deb 16 December 1965 vol 722 c331W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what plans he has for encouraging landowners to restore the land on which disused railway lines have run.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend is not aware of any need to take special steps for this purpose. Where disused railway land becomes derelict or unsightly local authorities have adequate powers for dealing with it.
