HC Deb 30 June 1965 vol 715 cc97-8W
75. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now announce his decision on the proposed withdrawals of passenger train services between Birmingham, New Street, and Redditch, and between Birmingham, New Street, and Worcester, which were the subject of the Transport Users' Consultative Committee inquiry held on 16th March.

Mr. Swingler

My right hon. Friend has just received the advice of the West Midland Regional Economic Planning Council on the planning implications if closure were to take place. He is considering its comments along with the report on hardship of the Transport Users' Consultative Committee and all other relevant factors. I cannot yet say when he will be able to reach a decision.
