§ Mr. Tony BanksTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish details of the investment made in Network SouthEast in 1992–93 and planned for 1993–94, 1994–95 and 1995–96.
§ Mr. FreemanAround £600 million is being invested in Network SouthEast in 1992–93. Rolling stock, including networkers for Kent link and turbos for Thames and Chiltern, accounts for over half this sum. Other major projects include resignalling schemes on the Great Eastern, London, Tilbury and Southend, Thames, Kent link and Kent coast lines, and Cambridge to King's Lynn electrification. Some of these projects will continue in 1993–94 including the delivery of more rolling stock for Kent link and Thames. However, British Rail has yet to be make final decisions on its detailed investment plans for 1993–94 to 1995–96.
