HC Deb 15 December 1965 vol 722 cc300-1W
Mr. Mapp

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now announce his decisions in regard to those proposed railway closures in the North-West area, including the Manchester-Oldham-Rochdale line, which are awaiting his consideration.

Mr. Tom Fraser

My lion. Friend will be aware from my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Hale) on 13th December that I expect to be able shortly to announce my decision on the closure proposal for the Manchester-Oldham-Rochdale line.

On other passenger closure proposals in the North-West I shall announce my decision in each case as soon as I have completed my examination of the Transport Users Consultative Committee's report and all other relevant factors.
