Volume 479: debated on Monday 21 July 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport pursuant to the Answer of 19 June 2008, Official Report, column 1066W, on railways: electrification, how many staff were engaged in this work in each month of the last two years. (217527)

The Department for Transport does not hold information in the form requested. A number of officials within the Department are currently supporting the industry’s work on electrification, in particular by providing technical and economic advice. This is to meet the Secretary of State’s aim of developing a prioritised list of potential routes for electrification by the end of the year.
