HC Deb 23 November 1966 vol 736 c306W
73. Miss Quennell

asked the Minister of Transport when she expects to conclude her consultations with local authorities on the cost of implementing paragraph 79 of Command Paper No. 3057.

Mrs. Castle

I cannot yet say. I have made detailed proposals to the local authorities' associations about the proposed scheme, including the financial arrangements, which they are now considering.

74. Miss Quennell

asked the Minister of Transport to what extent paragraph 12 of chapter 12 of the National Plan, Command Paper No. 2764, has been superseded by Command Paper No. 3057.

Mrs. Castle

As stated in Paragraph 29 of the White Paper on Transport Policy (Cmnd. Paper 3057), the Government and the Railways Board have set up joint machinery to study the financial implications of the new policies for the railways. I cannot anticipate the outcome.
