In relation to the Tilt-train and Speedrail -

(1) How much money has been provided from the ACT Government for these projects.

(2) When were monies paid, and to whom were they paid.

(3) For what goods or services were the monies paid.

MS FOLLETT - The answer to the Leader of the Oppositions question is as follows:

(1) The ACT has committed up to $75,000 for a study into the feasibility of a Tilt-train service between Sydney and Canberra and $50,000 for a feasibility study into Speedrail.

(2) A payment of $30,000 was made on 25 October 1994 for the Speedrail project to

Speedrail Pty Ltd. Only $15,000 of this was ACT Government funding ($15,000 was the

Commonwealths). A payment of $33,750 is currently being processed for the NSW

Government towards the Tilt-train study.

(3) The monies paid to Speedrail represented the payment for the first stage of the market study. The monies being paid to the NSW Government are the ACTs contribution towards a patronage study.
