HC Deb 27 October 1965 vol 718 cc60-1W
Mr. Mathew

asked the Minister of Transport what are his reasons for refusing to receive a delegation from the West of England Transport Joint Co-ordinating Committee, consisting of elected representatives of the county councils and other local government authorities in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, as well as county National Farmers' Union branches, who wish to submit the case for a co-ordinated transport policy for the West Country.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The Committee sent me a list of points on railway passenger closures and associated matters which, it appeared, could be dealt with in correspondence. It has not so far sent me anything which could be described as a case for a co-ordinated transport policy for the West Country. If it does, I will of course examine it with care.
