Mr. Snape

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has received a letter dated 16 May from the chairman of the West Midlands passenger transport authority seeking a meeting between him and a delegation of members of the authority to discuss the electrification of the Birmingham cross-city railway line; and if he will meet such a delegation in the near future.

Mr. Portillo

I have agreed to meet the chairman of the West Midlands PTE when I have had BR's formal submission on this scheme.
