HC Deb 27 July 1966 vol 732 c264W
72. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what will be the effect of withdrawal of passenger services from the Waverley-HawickCarlisle railway line on the Scottish plan for development of the Borders.

Mr. Ross

The Economic Planning Consultative Group for the Borders is already considering the implications of this proposal. To help them in this, I have arranged for them to draw on the work of the University Consultants' comprehensive survey of the area.
