HC Deb 10 August 1966 vol 733 cc334-5W
67. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of sparse transport services, she will use her statutory powers to cause Pershore Railway Station to be kept open; and whether she will make a statement.

Mr. John Morris

So far the Railways Board has not published a proposal under Section 56 of the Transport Act, 1962, to close this station to passengers. If it does, my right hon. Friend will consider it in accordance with the usual procedures, which would include a full study of the adequacy of alternative services. Until then I cannot anticipate any decision she may be called on to make.

Forward to
