HC Deb 29 January 1973 vol 849 cc311-2W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether there is any factor connected with Great Britain's entry into the EEC which inhibits a grant for unremunerative railway lines in Great Britain being made for a period of three years.

Mr. Peyton

The three-year statutory limit will not apply after 1st January 1974, when EEC Regulation 1191/69 comes into force. There will then be no specific limit applicable.
