§ 52. Rear-Admiral Morgan Gilesasked the Minister of Transport what were the figures of the operating costs of the Alton-Winchester railway for the last five years upon which she based her approval of the proposal to close the line.
§ Mr. John MorrisThe proposal to withdraw rail passenger services from this line was published on 8th December, 1967, and the Transport Users' Consultative Committee's public hearing will not take place until 18th April. My right hon. Friend has yet to receive all the financial and other information on which to base her decision.
