RAILWAY SAFETY

That this House condemns the ill-conceived privatisation of British Railways by the previous Tory government which, despite massive injections of taxpayers' 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 oppposed to the present regime which places profitability before all else.
