HC Deb 21 January 2002 vol 378 c569W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what the estimated annual running cost is of the proposed National Rail Academy. [28563]

Mr. Spellar

The concept of a National Rail Academy is still at a very early stage. The Strategic Rail Authority has commissioned the Rail Industry Training Council to consult with the industry on the establishment of such an academy and what form it might take. Until these facts are known it is premature to estimate running costs.
