HC Deb 19 June 1967 vol 748 cc184-5W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Transport if she will state the estimated cost of the British Railways electrification programme for the next five years in Wales, Scotland and England, respectively.

Mr. John Morris

The Railways Board's expenditure on electrification in the next five years depends largely on approvals which have not yet been sought. I cannot therefore state the estimated cost.

Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Transport if she will state the expenditure on electrification of British Railways during the last ten years in Wales, Scotland and England, respectively.

Mr. John Morris

I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer given to him on 14th February.—[Vol. 741, c.89.]
