HC Deb 02 December 1968 vol 774 c344W
Mr. Donnelly

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now announce his decision regarding the future of the Whitland-Pembroke Dock line.

Mr. Carmichael

As the hon. Member has already been told, my right hon. Friend has deferred a decision on this closure proposal until he has examined the case for grant under Section 39 of the Transport Act 1968. He has not yet completed this examination. If he is unable to reach a decision on the proposal before the end of the year, the service will be given a transitional grant under the provisions of Section 39(4) of the Act.
