HC Deb 01 March 1968 vol 759 cc436-7W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Transport if she will give her estimate of the return on capital she expects to be made by the Victoria line now being built at a cost of£84 million.

Mr. Swingler

The return, taking into account social benefit, is expected to be in the region of 10 per cent. Revenue from fares should pay the operating costs of the line and make a small contribution to interest on capital.
