§ Mrs. HealTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has received any submissions from British Rail for the authorisation of the electrification of the Birmingham cross-city line between Lichfield City and Lichfield Trent Valley.
§ Mr. FreemanI understand that an extension of the cross-city electrification scheme to Lichfield Trent Valley is being considered by British Rail. Such an extension would not require ministerial authorisation.
