19. Mr. Frank Byers

asked the Minister of Transport the expenditure which is to be incurred in the next two years in improving the railways, detailing in particular the amount of money which will be spent on electrification.

My right hon. Friend is making inquiries and will inform the hon. Member of the result.

Colonel Gomme-Duncan

Will the hon. Gentleman bear in mind that up to date there is not a single yard of electric railway in Scotland?
