HC Deb 20 December 1991 vol 201 c399W
Mr. Waller

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement about the West York shire electrification project.

Mr. Freeman

The passenger transport authority has now informed me that the rolling-stock will as agreed be acquired through an operating lease. I welcome this, and we are allocating credit approvals to allow work to begin as soon as possible on the infrastructure for the project.
