RAIL CLOSURE IN NORTHERN IRELAND

Early day motion 897, tabled 24 March 2004 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 20 members.

That this House recognises the importance of rail travel throughout the United Kingdom; is particularly concerned at the possibility of consideration being given in Northern Ireland to closing, or mothballing the rail line north of Ballymena to Londonderry; is acutely aware of the detrimental effect any closure would have on the people who live on the North Coast and along the North West corridor; and calls upon the Secretary of State to assist in the promotion of railway travel in Northern Ireland.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, DUP 4, Liberal Democrat 2, Independent Conservative 1, UUP 1.
