HC Deb 23 November 1955 vol 546 c113W
38. Mr. Hale

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation when the work of the electrification of the railway from Euston to Manchester is expected to commence; and when it is likely to be completed.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I am not in a position to make a statement about this. As the House knows, it is the practice of the British Transport Commission to publish each year forecasts of the work under the modernisation and re-equipment programme to be undertaken in the following two years.
