278Won 27th May, 1966, for figures up to 1965. The estimated out-turn for 1966 is £110 million, including £4 million for ancillary activities and £42 million on rolling stock. For 1967 a total investment allocation of £102 million (including some £8 million for ancillary activities) has been agreed with the Railways Board; of this it is estimated that about £29 million will be spent on rolling stock. We are not at present able to forecast the level of the Board's capital expenditure after 1967.—[Vol. 729, c. 197.]
