HC Deb 14 March 1988 vol 129 c481W
Dr. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he next expects to meet the chairman of British Rail to discuss its electrification programme and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Mitchell

Electrification from London to Edinburgh is due to be completed on target in 1991. I understand that BR has no plans for further major route electrification.
