HC Deb 15 November 1967 vol 754 c101W
48. Dr. Winstanley

asked the Minister of Transport if she will publish the advice given to her by the North-West Economic Planning Council on railway passenger service closures, ports and passenger transport authorities; and why she asked for this advice to be given confidentially.

Mr. John Morris

No. It is desirable that on such matters as these the Councils should be able to advise freely and frankly and this is best achieved if they are consulted and advise in confidence.
