§ Mr. Gowerasked the Minister of Transport what capital sums he has authorised for expenditure by the British Transport Commission on railway development and modernisation in Wales during the next three years, to meet the expanding industrial needs of the Principality.
§ Mr. MarplesThe proposals of the British Transport Commission for railway investment in 1961 which I have so far approved include schemes in Wales on which about £800,000 is likely to be spent in that year. The total cost of these schemes will be nearly £5 million. I have not been asked to authorise specific proposals for later years.
