HC Deb 02 April 1979 vol 965 c552W
Sir Raymond Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has received from the British Railways Board any proposal for electrification of any part of the railway system in Wales.

Mr. William Rodgers

No specific proposals have been received. A joint steering group from my Department and the British Railways Board is reviewing the case for a programme of main line electrification.
