HC Deb 04 December 1974 vol 882 c531W
64. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment why he instigated a research study led by Professor Peter Hall into railroad conversion; when he expects to receive a recommendation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Carmichael

The study is intended to test the claims that such conversions are feasible and could provide major benefits to transport in urban areas. I expect to receive the report in about a year's time.
