§ Dr. MarekTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will reassess the Dornoch rail bridge project as a result of recent developments in possible financial support.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonNo. Rail investment is a matter for British Rail. However, the Government's commitments to improved transport in the area are shown by the substantial investment of over £100 million in improving the A9 north of Inverness. British Rail's commitment to the rail line is shown by new signalling investment and the introduction of sprinter units.
