§ Mr. FreemanBritish Rail's funding requirements for investment and losses over the period 1992–93 to 1994–95 are currently forecast at some £6.6 billion. Of this, nearly £4.4 billion—some two thirds—would be met from central Government grants and loans, with the remainder coming from passenger transport executive grants and internal sources. Particular sources of finance are not apportioned between investment and other expenditure.
