HC Deb 07 November 1991 vol 198 cc188-9W
Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport of which disused railway lines in Scotland, British Rail still owns,(a) the land and (b) the track bed.

Mr. McLoughlin

I do not have the information in the form requested. British Rail owns some 155 miles of disused railway in Scotland which in general comprise a large number of short isolated stretches of which only a very small proportion contains the trackbed.
