§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much of the sums of £10 million and £15 million announced as savings in assistance to British Rail in 1971–72 and 1974–75, respectively, are to be saved in Wales.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsNone. As indicated in the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 27th October, the savings mentioned are to be achieved by reduction in grant to the London area commuter services. This does not preclude the possibility of additional savings elsewhere as a result of the general review of grants for unremunerative rail services.
