HC Deb 30 November 1967 vol 755 cc183-4W
Mr. Gibson-Watt

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what alternative plans for road communications his Department has in the event of the closure of the Llanelly-Craven Arms railway.

Mr. Ifor Davies

Objections to the proposal to withdraw passenger services from this line will be heard in public by the T.U.C.C.s concerned. They will report to my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport on the hardship which might result from closure. In the light of all the evidence before her, and after consulting my right hon. Friend, she will decide whether or not the line should be closed and, if so, what alternative arrangements would be needed.
