Lord Berkeley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the letter from Mr. John Watts MP, dated July 1994 and referred to on 8th May 1996 (H.L. Deb., col. 162), stated that they were committed to funding the track work necessary to enable Class 92 locomotives to operate between London and Dollands Moor via Tonbridge and Redhill, with the work being funded by British Rail through its external financing limit.

Viscount Goschen

No, the letter did not contain such a commitment from the Government.
