HC Deb 27 April 1955 vol 540 c66W
60. Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what priority is allocated to the railway from Manchester to Oldham and from Oldham to West Yorkshire in the scheme of railway electrification recently announced by him.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter:

I am not in a position to make a statement about the priority to be attached to particular proposals. As I told the House on 8th February, the Commission will publish annual forecasts of work to be undertaken. The Commission will publish the first of these forecasts soon.
