HC Deb 25 February 1981 vol 999 cc383-4W
21. Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what money he proposes to make available to British Railways for the reconstruction of the Barmouth viaduct on the Cambrian coast railway line.

Mr. Fowler

I welcome the Railways Board's decision to spend £300,000 on immediate repairs to Barmouth viaduct to ensure that it is open to trains this summer. I am discussing with the board the additional repairs needed to secure the long-term future of the line.
