Sir John Stanley: On my hon. Friend's first point, will he assure me that he and the Secretary of State will

14 Dec 1995 : Column 1203

provide the House with a list of any other places along the line, apart from Bickley, where Railtrack feels that the works in question would entitle people to compensation?

Will he ensure that that list is included in the information that he will give the House?

Mr. Watts: If there are instances of "new or altered" works which Railtrack accepts fall within the definition of the Act, those will be included in the list and that information will be made available to my right hon. Friend and the House. The difficulty is that until there are such works which Railtrack accepts are within the definition, there is no list. Therefore, any list that I might supply would merely be a blank piece of paper. We will convey to my right hon. Friend any information of the sort that he seeks which we can obtain from Railtrack.

Question put and agreed to.
