HC Deb 24 March 1971 vol 814 cc123-4W
Mr. Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now make a statement in view of the report by the Transport Users' Consultative Committee following the public inquiry into the proposed closure of the passenger train service between Oldham (Mumps) and Rochdale, in which the Committee found that the closure would cause hardship which could not be alleviated.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

No. The report of the Transport Users' Consultative Committee and other relevant factors are being considered. A decision will be made as soon as possible.
