§ 63. Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Minister of Transport whether he has now considered British Railways' outline proposals for the withdrawal of passenger services from stations between Stanley junction and Kinnaber; whether he has referred them to the Scottish Planning Board; and whether he has yet given or withheld consent to the Railways Board's proceeding with these proposals.
§ Mr. Tom FraserYes. After considering the views of the Scottish Economic Planning Council and Board, I have agreed to formal publication of this proposal. It will now go through the statutory machinery and be considered in accordance with the policy set out in my statements of 4th November and 31st March.
