§ 41. Lady Tweedsmuirasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will make a statement on the modernisation and equipment of British Railways in Scotland.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI have nothing to add at present to what I said on this subject in the course of the debates on 3rd February and yesterday.
§ Lady TweedsmuirWill the Minister be in a position shortly to announce the modernisation and equipment for Scotland separately, and also the proportion to be spent in relation to that in England and Wales?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterNo, Sir; the scheme is best taken as a whole, but the noble Lady will appreciate that I referred 1899 at some length yesterday to the discussions taking place in connection with the proposed electrification of the Glasgow suburban service, which is a very large scheme.
