§ Lord Aylestoneasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they can confirm that the proposals by British Rail to close the automatic railway crossing at Goring-by-Sea in West Sussex, which may cause difficulties for disabled persons and mothers with prams, will require the approval of both Houses of Parliament.
§ Viscount DavidsonBritish Rail has no plans at present to close the level crossing at Goring-by-Sea Station, though I understand that such proposals may be put forward at a later stage by means of private legislation. In that event, the approval of both Houses would be required.
