§ Mr. Harry Howarthasked the Minister of Transport if she will make a statement on the future of the Northampton-Peterborough line, particularly in relation to that section of the line passing through Wellingborough at the Little Irchester level crossing.
§ Mr. John MorrisAny future plans for the line are a matter for the Railways Board subject to the general arrangement my right hon. Friend announced recently about disposal of assets. This ensures that the formation of closed lines is retained in case of future need unless she agrees to disposal.
