The Minister follows a very distinguished predecessor who achieved a great deal. The last Government was the first to put its own money into rail. We all remember the attitude in the 1980s as seen in Building on Reality that there would be no more investment in railways. The level of investment was increased from under £1 million in the original Book of Estimates in 1997 to something in the order of £500 million taking all the different categories together in the past year. I hope that even if that cannot be increased at the moment at least it will be maintained.
