HC Deb 10 March 1965 vol 708 cc96-7W
43. Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Transport what decisions he has made on the proposed closure of branch railway lines in the Torrington division.

Mr. Swingler

My right hon. Friend has decided to consent to the Railways Board's proposals to withdraw the passenger services between Halwill and Torrington and between Torrington and Barnstaple Junction. His consent to the latter is conditional on the provision of certain extra bus services.
