§ Mr. Monroasked the Minister of Transport whether a decision has now been made for electrifying the Carlisle—Glasgow railway line; and when construction will begin.
§ Mr. MarshI am considering with the Railways Board, proposals for investment in the main line from Crewe to Glasgow via Carlisle: but the hon. Member will understand from the Answer given to the hon. Member for Bromsgrove (Mr. Dance) on 20th December 1967 that this does not imply an early decision to proceed with the electrification of this line.—[Vol. 756, c. 408.]
