HC Deb 25 January 1966 vol 723 c13W
Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many new towns are planned not to have a passenger railway station.

Mr. MacColl

All the new towns are sited on or near to railways. But in new towns, as in old, my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Transport, may be called upon, following closure proposals by the Railways Board, to decide whether the continued provision of a passenger service is justified.
