96. Mr. Bessell

asked the Minister of Transport if she will give a general direction to British Railways to establish a co-ordinated uniform policy for the disposal of surplus land in its ownership.

Mr. John Morris

I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer I gave to the hon. Member for Maidstone (Mr. John Wells) on Wednesday, 8th March, 1967.—[Vol. 742, c. 1500.]

Mr. Pardoe

asked the Minister of Transport what proposals she has received from British Railways about the disposal of surplus railway land at Launceston; and if she will now give her permission for this land to be sold.

Mr. John Morris

The Railways Board has asked for my right hon. Friend's agreement to the disposal of the formation of the line between Halwill and Wadebridge including the site of and access to Launceston station. She has asked the South West Economic Planning Council for its comments and she will make her decision as soon as possible after these have been received.
