§ 76. Sir A. Spearmanasked 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 FraserI 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.
