§ Mr. Barry Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list those schemes with a value in excess of £million approved by the British Railways board since 1979 which relate specifically to railways in Wales.
§ Mr. David MitchellI understand from the British Railways Board that Welsh services have benefited in part from the major signalling investment in the Chester area, and from general BR investments in rolling stock, but that there have been no railway schemes involving this size of expenditure approved since 1979 and relating solely to Wales.
