HC Deb 03 November 1986 vol 103 c339W
34. Mr. Gregory

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the number and value of major investments approved for British Rail since June 1983.

Mr. David Mitchell

Since June 1983, we have approved 19 major investments, with a total value of some £940 million at today's prices. In addition, we have given approval in principle to Channel tunnel investment, and the Railways Board has itself also approved many smaller schemes.
