HC Deb 28 May 1971 vol 818 c244W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is now able to make a statement about the payment of grant aid for the Stranraer-Euston boat train.

Mr. Peyton

The current grant undertaking terminates at the end of June. But the service will continue unless and until I give consent to its withdrawal. It is for the Railways Board to decide whether or when to publish a statutory closure notice.
