HC Deb 25 November 1968 vol 774 c37W
83. Sir M. Stoddard-Scott

asked the Minister of Transport if he will give an assurance that he will not approve the proposal to close the Ilkley-Leeds and Ilkley-Bradford railway services whatever the result of the proposed inquiry, until the development plan for the Leeds-Bradford area has been produced and only if it shows that these railway services are not required.

Mr. Marsh

I understand that the West Yorkshire land use/transportation study is scheduled for completion in February, 1969. I expect, therefore, to be able to take account of the findings of this study before taking a decision on the current Leeds/Bradford-Ilkley rail closure proposal.
