HC Deb 26 May 1971 vol 818 c153W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his policy towards the improvement of the environment of railway sidings in Scotland.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Where disused railway sidings have become derelict, neglected or unsightly, Government assistance is available to local authorities towards their rehabilitation, and I am always ready to consider any such proposals. Approved schemes would normally attract grant at 85 per cent. of the net cost.
