47. Mr. David Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will now authorise the British Railways Board to proceed with the production of the modified advanced passenger train.

I understand that the railways board is continuing with tests of the prototype Advance Passenger Train, with a view to developing a modified version for use in passenger services. It is for the board to decide when to submit proposals for investment.
