HC Deb 19 January 1976 vol 903 cc301-2W
Mr. Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give an assurance that the level of Government grant to British Rail will be sufficient to maintain the present service of the Leeds, Harrogate, York line, under existing arrangements.

Dr. Gilbert

The Government grant is for the operation of the railway passenger system as a whole and not for individual passenger services. The responsibility for deciding the level of the Leeds, Harrogate, York service lies with the Railways Board and the West Yorkshire County Council and its passenger transport executive.
