To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (1) if he has been advised of a request for a financial subsidy towards the cost of a site survey of Edinburgh Waverley Station in connection with its proposed redevelopment; [19926]

(2) what recent discussions he has had with the Strategic Rail Authority regarding funding for the redevelopment of Edinburgh Waverley Station. [19927]

We are not aware of any request for a financial subsidy towards the redevelopment work at Edinburgh Waverley station. This is a major redevelopment scheme, including retail development and the Strategic Rail Authority are considering a number of proposals put forward by Railtrack.
