HC Deb 15 March 1967 vol 743 cc117-8W
99. Mr. Brian Parkyn

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the decision by the Minister of Housing and Local Government to build a large new town at Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, she will reconsider her decision to close the Cambridge-Bedford-Bletchley railway line.

Mr. John Morris

No. My right hon Friend's predecessor's consent to the closure of passenger services on this line was given only after full consideration of probable future development in the area including the new town planned for North Buckinghamshire.
