HC Deb 31 January 1996 vol 270 c805W
Mr. Jamieson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the cost of repairs required to the railway line at Dawlish. [12524]

Mr. Watts

[holding answer 30 January 1996]: None. However, Railtrack informs me that £500,000 per year is spent on maintenance of the Dawlish sea wall, with a further £200,000 this year for repairs necessitated by the poor weather conditions in January.
