HC Deb 20 December 1968 vol 775 cc522-3W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether he will make a statement about the action he proposes to take on the findings and recommendations of the report, Transport in the Borders, a copy of which has been sent to him, so far as concerns his responsibilities.

Mr. Ross

The report deals with the withdrawal of passenger rail services between Edinburgh and Carlisle and with the proposed replacement bus services prescribed by my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Transport. These are matters for him.
