§ Mr. Bishopasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what plans he has for the maintenance of railway transport in Nottinghamshire; and if he will give an assurance that it is not his intention to close existing services;
(2) what is his policy with regard to railways and the transportation of coal; what consideration he has given to the fact that further railway closures in Nottinghamshire and alternative transportation of fuel from collieries and to power stations will add to road congestion; and if he will make a statement.
