HC Deb 17 May 1993 vol 225 c2W
Mr. Bowis

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if the Government will be making additional funding available for the Robin Hood line between Nottingham and Mansfield.

Mr. Freeman

The Government will be making available to Nottinghamshire county council additional resources of £6.5 million for stage 2 of the Robin Hood line. These resources are in addition to the £367,000 which the Government have already made available towards the costs of stage 1 of the line. The additional resources should make it possible to extend the Robin Hood line from Nottingham at least as far as Mansfield.
