§ Mr. Morganasked the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to ensure that all railway lines in North Wales are equipped with reasonably modern rolling stock.
§ Mr. FowlerThe deployment of rolling stock is a matter for the British Railways Board, but I would be glad to pass to the board any suggestions that my hon. and learned Friend may have.
§ Mr. Morganasked the Secretary of State for Transport what propoition of the rolling stock regularly used on North Wales railway lines is over 25 years old.
§ Mr. FowlerAs my hon. and learned Friend will understand this is a purely operational matter for British Rail, and my Department does not keep records of the deployment of rolling stock. But British Rail tells me that none are over 25 years old on these lines.
