RAILWAY SAFETY

That this House condemns the ill-conceived privatisation of British Railways by the previous Tory government which, despite massive injections of tax-payers' money, has led directly to the present and continuing crisis suffered by railworkers and rail-users alike; regrets that many are reverting to car use with its adverse impact on the environment and consequent increases in death and injury; and calls on the Government to restore confidence in the rail network by returning Railtrack to public ownership and accountability with a clear onus to monitor track maintenance and renewal alongside a culture of safety and reliability as opposed to the present regime which places profitability before all else.
