HC Deb 18 June 1959 vol 607 cc72-3W
80. Sir F. Markham

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether the inquiry into the proposed closing of the Oxford-Bletchley-Cambridge branch railway lines and the objections made thereto will be held by the East Midlands or the East Anglia Transport Users' Consultative Committee; and what are the probable dates of the inquiry.

Mr. Watkinson

I understand that no proposal to close this line has yet been put forward, although the London Midland Region have said that they are considering the withdrawal of the passenger services. Any proposal affecting this line would be submitted to the East Midland and the East Anglian Transport Users' Consultative Committees. The arrangements for considering any proposal would be a matter for those Committees.
