§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give the estimated cost of the British Rail proposals of essential investment in the west coast main line over the next three years.
§ Mr. FreemanI understand that British Rail intends to commence work soon on renewing infrastructure on the west coast main line. The timing of this work, and therefore the cost over the next three years, will be decided in the spring when British Rail have completed its next corporate plan.
