HC Deb 26 November 1990 vol 181 c270W
25. Mr. Holt

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much British Rail will invest over the next three years; and what were the comparable figures for the previous three years.

Mr. Freeman

We have given British Rail an investment ceiling of £4 billion cash over the next three years. This represents £3.65 billion at 1990–91 prices, a 58 per cent. real increase on the comparable figure, £2.3 billion, for the previous three years.
