HC Deb 07 December 1966 vol 737 cc312-3W
90. Mr. Faulds

asked the Minister of Transport if she will make a statement on the proposals for a pilot rapid transit scheme for the West Midlands submitted to her by the Railway Development Association; and if she will give her approval for the capital and new construction involved.

Mr. Swingler

The proposals are interesting but will have to be worked out to much greater depth in terms of engineering feasibility, traffic potential and costs before then can be properly assessed.
