§ Mr. Cohenasked the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals London Regional Transport has submitted to him for approval regarding major investment in the Central line; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerLRT has not so far submitted any major investment projects solely connected with the Central line for the Secretary of State's approval. The signalling equipment and the rolling stock are due to be renewed in the early 1990s.
