HC Deb 29 April 1981 vol 3 c417W
42. Mr. Booth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what increases will be required in the present rail investment limit in each of the remaining years of the 1980s to give effect to the British Railways Board's proposals contained in "Rail Policy" a statement by the British Railways Board of its policies and potential for the 1980s.

Mr. Fowler

The board's paper "Rail Policy" proposes substantial increases in investment in the next decade, which are considerably larger than those in the corporate plan. But no year-by-year profile is provided.
