HC Deb 03 July 1992 vol 210 c726W
Mr. Pope

To 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. Freeman

British 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.
