asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish as part of his forthcoming review a table showing the principal categories and total income, including grants but excluding capital sums, of the British Railways Board in each of the last 10 years, together with the main headings of expenditure.

Much of the information requested is contained in the Annual Reports and Accounts published by the British Railways Board. I shall take account of my hon. Friend's suggestion in considering what information to make available in the forthcoming consultative document.
