§ 39. Dr. Glynasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in view of local anxiety over the possible closure of the Slough-Windsor rail service which would result if his Department failed to continue its grant after1972, and of the fact that the permanent closure of the Windsor Bridge increases the importance of this rail link over the Thames, making it vital for communications, if he will undertake to continue the subsidy after the end of 1972.
§ Mr. PeytonI expect the Railways Board to apply for the renewal of grant aid later this year and will then consider the matter.
