§ Mr. PopeTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the total level of planned investment by British Rail in the latest year for which figures are available.
§ Mr. FreemanBritish Rail invested a total of £1,005 million in 1991–92; this was the highest level for 30 years. British Rail's investment ceiling for 1992–93 is currently set at £983 million for the existing railway and £755 million for the new railway. The combined ceiling for both existing and new railways is therefore set at £1,738 million.
