HC Deb 18 October 1966 vol 734 c35W
Sir T. Beamish

asked the Minister of Transport if she will now announce her decision about the future of the Hurst Green to Lewes railway line.

Mr. John Morris

My right hon. Friend has agreed that the Railways Board may publish under Section 56 of the Transport Act 1962 their proposal to discontinue passenger services on this line. Her permission means only that the proposal should have the benefit of the full examination that publication will set in motion: it in no way prejudges her ultimate decision.
