§ 89. Mr. Scott-Hopkinsasked the Minister of Transport what steps he proposes to take to improve the classified roads in North Cornwall which will bear increased traffic due to rail closure proposals for that area.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI am at present considering proposals for the withdrawal of two railway passenger services in North Cornwall. Before giving my consent, I will take into account the effect of the closure on road traffic. Where existing roads appear to be inadequate for192W increased traffic, I can refuse consent or defer it until road improvements have been carried out.
