HC Deb 02 April 1973 vol 854 cc8-9W
Mr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the details of the formula used on deciding the amount of grant to be made available to a particular railway line under the Transport Act 1968.

Mr. Peyton

I am considering this in the rail policy review.

Mr. Body

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the proposed regulation in the EEC COM(72) 1517 final dated 26th February 1973, if adopted, would have any effect upon the existing grants made to the British Railways Board to maintain uneconomic services.

Mr. Peyton

No.
