HC Deb 15 November 1966 vol 736 c92W
Mr. Younger

asked the Minister of Transport if she will list in order of amount of capital outlay the 30 largest projects cut or deferred in British Railways capital investment programme as a result of the £10 million cut made in July, 1966.

Mrs. Castle

I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer given to the hon. Member for Basingstoke (Mr. David Mitchell) on 9th November in which a score of the largest investment projects deferred by the Railways Board were listed. I do not consider it appropriate to ask the Board to provide any further details.—[Vol. 735, c.295.]

Mr. Younger

asked the Minister of Transport to what extent British Railways will be able to effect the full saving of £10 million in their capital investment programme announced in July, 1966; and within what period this will be accomplished.

Mr. John Morris

The full saving of £10 million will be achieved by the Railways Board in 1967.
