HC Deb 22 February 1967 vol 741 c288W
Mr. Alison

asked the Minister of Transport what study she has made of the possibility of adapting the bed of the disused railway track of the line from Wetherby to Harrogate as a relief road connecting Harrogate to the A1 trunk road at Wetherby.

Mr. Swingler

None. But I understand that the West Riding County Council, the highway authority in this area, is proposing to use the disused track between Spofforth and Wetherby for a new road. This proposal has been included in the Wetherby Town Map Review which the County Council, as planning authority, has submitted for the approval of my right bon. Friend the Minister of Housing and Local Government.
