I do not think that the hon. Gentleman has any ground for suggesting that Scotland is being badly treated. Indeed, he did not do so. The investment figures which I announced the other day were global figures and it will be for British Rail to split them up. Substantial work is going on in Scotland, and I have a note that the Hamilton loopline is now being electrified. No doubt the hon. Gentleman will take full credit for that.
