Lord Davies of Oldham

The information is not available in the form requested. However, Section 5 of the Network Rail's 2003 annual return to the Rail Regulator, published on 31 July, includes details of actual maintenance and renewal expenditure in 2002–03 for the total network and by region; and of actual renewals spend on each of Network Rail's 45 strategic routes. I will arrange for a copy to be placed in the Library of the House.
