Mr. Walter Johnson
asked the Secretary of State for Transport what recent discussions he has had with the Chairman of British Railways on transport links between Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland; and what proposals have been made to him and which are anticipated in connection with closures.
Mr. William Rodgers
