§ 47. Mr. Terry Walkerasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether British Railways will be allowed to dispose of their disused railway lines in the Bristol area, before any final decision is made on the Bristol Land Use Transportation Study.
§ Mr. William RodgersDecisions on the study rest with the local authorities concerned. I understand they are discussing the future of the surplus lines with British Railways, which, following normal procedure, will offer them the first opportunity to purchase.
