HL Deb 29 March 1999 vol 599 c14WA
The Earl of Haddington

asked Her Majesty's Government:

In each of the last 10 years in which responsibility lay with the British Railways Board, what contracts of projects in connection with the maintenance of the Severn rail tunnel were outsourced. [HL1488]

Lord Whitty

This is a matter for Railtrack. All of the British Railways Board's records of this sort transferred, with responsibility for the maintenance of the Severn tunnel itself, to Railtrack on privatisation.
