HC Deb 16 December 1964 vol 704 c83W
76. Sir A. Spearman

asked the Minister of Transport if he will vary the conditions of consent to the closure of the Whitby-Malton-Scarborough railway lines on the grounds that the proposed alternative transport is inadequate; and whether he will reconsider the report of the Transport Users' Consultative Committee before deciding on the necessary variation.

Mr. Tom Fraser

I shall be glad to consider any concrete evidence given to me that the alternative services will not meet essential needs. In doing so I will certainly take account of any relevant observations in the T.U.C.C.'s report.
