§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish his Department's reasons for not supporting proposals to electrify the Holyhead to Crewe railway line.
§ Mr. RobertsIt would be for British Rail to bring foward the necessary investment proposals. The Government are always willing to approve investments put forward by British Rail provided that they are worth while. No economic case has been made however to justify the cost of electrifying this line.
