HC Deb 11 November 1970 vol 806 c186W
74. Mr. Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on his policy in view of the application by British Railways to close the Manchester-Oldham-Rochdale passenger rail service.

Mr. Peyton

I am reviewing my policy on unremunerative rail passenger services. Meanwhile each closure proposal will be considered individually on its merits.
