HC Deb 10 March 1969 vol 779 c211W
44. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Minister of Transport why his proposed subsidy in respect of the Weymouth-Bournemouth rail link is limited to one year.

Mr. Carmichael

The Railways Board were under very heavy pressure to prepare over 220 grant applications during 1968. With my right hon. Friend's agreement they prepared detailed estimates of costs for certain services, including that between Bournemouth and Weymouth, for 1969 only.
