§ Mr. GunnellTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if his Department has completed its appraisal of the north Yorkshire passenger transport executive bid for new rolling stock for the electrified Leeds-Bradford line; and if he will make a statement on the current position with regard to this order.
§ Mr. FreemanThe appraisal is still under discussion between my Department and West Yorkshire passenger transport executive. We have not yet had from the PTE all the information we need to enable us to reach a conclusion. We hope to reach a conclusion quickly once all the information is made available.
