HC Deb 16 January 1989 vol 145 cc103-4W
Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much extra funding has been provided so far to implement the findings of the Fennell report.

Mr. Portillo

The external financing limit for London Regional Transport for the current financial year has been increased to allow for £28 million of additional safety-related expenditure following the fire at King's Cross. The Government's public expenditure plans for 1989–90 to 1991–92 make provision in full for the proposals put forward by LRT for spending on Underground safety totalling £266 million.
