HC Deb 23 November 1967 vol 754 c433W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Transport if she will issue a general direction to the Railways Board to publish, prior to any railway closure inquiry, figures for the current profit or loss of both the passenger and freight traffic for the railway line concerned.

Mr. John Morris

No. The Board already give figures of passenger direct Costs and earnings to the T.U.C.C. and objectors for background information. Figures for freight are not given since the Committee's consideration, like my hon. Friend's decision, is confined to the passenger service.
