HC Deb 12 June 1990 vol 174 c94W
Dr. Kim Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will ensure that British Rail implements fully the scheme approved by the Welsh Office in November 1989 to reopen a passenger service to Maesteg.

Mr. Roberts

I met the chairman of British Rail recently and he is aware of the importance of the Maesteg project to the economic regeneration of south Wales. The provision of rolling stock for the line is for resolution between British Rail and Mid Glamorgan county council.
