HC Deb 22 March 1996 vol 274 c393W
Mr. John Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when the General Electric Company is contractually due to supply the first of the 104 new trains for the Northern line; and when he now expects that this train will be supplied. [22106]

Mr. Norris

The details of GEC Alsthom's contract with London Underground for the supply of new trains for the Northern line are commercially confidential. However, I understand that London Underground expects the first train to enter service in mid-1997.
