§ 48. Mr. Hiltonasked the Minister of Transport if he will give an assurance that, before effecting the closure of railway lines in Norfolk following the Beeching proposals, he will make an 54W additional allocation of money to the Norfolk County Council to enable them to improve roads in the county in order that they may be able to carry the additional volume of traffic.
§ Mr. HayWhen considering any passenger closure proposal we shall certainly wish to know whether any additional road improvements are required. But it would be necessary to determine this question before deciding whether additional money is needed by the local highway authorities.
