§ Mr. Mappasked the Minister of Transport whether he will now make a statement on the Railways Board's proposals for the rationalisation and electrification of the railway line between Weaver Junction and Glasgow.
§ Mr. MarshI have given the Railways Board my formal approval to their proposal to resignal and rationalise this line at an estimated cost of some £30 million. No decision on the electrification element of the proposal has yet been taken, and218W there can in any case be no question of electrification proceeding before the end of 1969.
