HC Deb 07 July 1987 vol 119 c65W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what level of investment has been made by British Rail in the London Midland region in each of the past eight years.

Mr. David Mitchell

Investment in infrastructure (cash prices) in the London Midland region in each of the past eight years is as follows:

£ million
1979 33.9
1980 40.9
1981 36.2
1982 18.5
1983 23.5
1984–851 57.5
1985–86 47.6
1986–87 42.7
1 15-month accounting period.

These figures do not include investment in locomotives and rolling stock, as it is impossible to apportion BR's rolling stock accurately between regions.
