HC Deb 16 May 1978 vol 950 c142W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has received any proposal for the electrification of the line between Bedford and Leicester; and what would be the capital costs of this at present prices.

Mr. William Rodgers

I have received no such proposal. Estimates of cost at present prices are not available to the Department and could not be prepared without disproportionate work.
