§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what is the total amount of compensation the state paid out on all charters; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Waldegrave[pursuant to his answer, 10 May 1993, c. 307–81]: I would like to correct the figure for British Rail compensation given in my answer of 10 May, Official Report, columns 307–8. That figure—£1 million—was based on information from British Rail which it has now revised. The final amount of compensation paid out in the first year of British Rail's passengers charter is £1.9 million. All other figures quoted in my original answer are correct.
