HC Deb 15 November 1971 vol 826 c53W
Mr. Simeons

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is now in a position to find in principle on environmental grounds that the Luton to Dunstable railway line should become the relief road for A505 and so allay the concern of residents of Dellow Road, Luton, whose houses will otherwise be demolished to provide that road.

Mr. Graham Page

A decision to use the route of this railway line for the relief road must await the outcome of discussions on possible closure of the line which are now in progress.
