HC Deb 01 July 1960 vol 625 cc155-6W
Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Transport what will be the effect upon the railway modernisation programme of the decision to maintain Government capital expenditure during the coming year at existing levels; and whether it is still intended to complete the electrification of the Euston main line by 1964.

Mr. Marples

The programme of expenditure on investment in the public sector for 1961–62 is now being reviewed, and it is not yet possible to forecast how different parts of the programme, such as railway investment, may be affected.
