HC Deb 25 July 1984 vol 64 c688W
Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if, when he next meets the chairman of British Rail, he will discuss the extension of electrification in the north-west.

Mr. David Mitchell

My right hon. Friend is always willing to discuss any matter the chairman wishes to raise at the regular meetings between them.

It is for BR to make investment proposals, and I have received none from it for the extension of electrification in the north-west.
