HC Deb 01 July 1964 vol 697 c230W
72. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Minister of Transport what reply he has given to recent representations he received on the West of Scotland transport study, being undertaken by Her Majesty's Government and local authorities, jointly, and which involves the proposed electrification of the Glasgow-Gourock railway.

Mr. Marples

I have sent the hon. Member a copy of the reply sent on my behalf. Briefly, the local authorities have been assured that I should be prepared to study proposals for capital investment on the Glasgow-Gourock line without necessarily waiting for the results of the Glasgow transport survey.
