§ Mr. SpearingTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will set out the statistics he has given in response to the figures presented to him by London Underground Ltd. relating to the impact of its plans, entitled "A Decently Modern Metro", of reductions in capital funding for safety and maintenance of this system at levels below those already indicated by Her Majesty's Government.
§ Mr. NorrisWe are still discussing with London Underground Ltd.—LUL—its plans for "A Decently Modern Metro", and I cannot comment on future funding levels in advance of the unified budget. Safety on London Underground remains, of course, a top priority for LUL and Government.
