HC Deb 08 May 1963 vol 677 cc52-3W
41. Mr. Prior

asked the Minister of Transport if, in the public interest, he will give a general direction to the Railways Board to publish castings for all railway lines on which it is proposed to make closure orders.

Mr. Hay

The Railways Board has already agreed to provide Area Transport Users Consultative Committees with current information on receipts and direct costs attributable to the service in all cases where an objection is lodged to a passenger closure proposal under section 56(8) of the Transport Act 1962. The Committees for their part will make this information available to objectors.
