§ 80. Sir J. Maitlandasked the Minister of Transport what arrangements he has made with local authorities to enable them to make representations on aspects of rail passenger closure proposals other than hardship.
§ Mr. MarplesThe present arrangements are that authorities should send their representations direct to me, after the statutory notice of closure has been given, with copies to the Departments who normally deal with the subjects concerned.
This will make it easier for authorities which want to make representations on a lumber of different aspects, and should enable me to get their comprehensive views and the comments of my colleagues as early as possible.
