§ Sir William Clarkasked the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects the results of the study of the possible uses of the former Woodside to Selsdon railway line; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. David MitchellA report, prepared by Messrs. Brian Colquhoun and Partners, was published on 10 October, when copies were placed in the Library.
I welcome this study as an important factual contribution to the debate about the conversion of disused railway lines into roads. It clearly illustrates the costs and engineering problems of converting lines into roads of varying standards. I hope all those interested in the rail-road conversion issue will read the report carefully.
