Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Ben Wallace (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 21 March 2006 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Blackpool Trams
- Question
- Will the Under-Secretary set out a timetable for a decision on any request for extra investment? Will he study carefully any request to deregulate from the rail vehicle accessibility regime, which is imposed 100 per cent. on the Blackpool trams? If there is no deregulation, that could threaten their existence in the long run.
- Answer
-
Blackpool has said that it needs £16 million over the next three years to keep the tramway running. This issue is being considered as part of the regional priorities exercise that we have carried out around the regions, including the north-west. Ministers are considering those priorities at the moment, and we will make an announcement in due course.
