Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I am sorry to hear about the problems that my hon. Friend's constituents face because of the failures of Network Rail, which has a somewhat unique governance structure that makes it difficult to hold it to account. I will share her concerns with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport. My hon. Friend will know that additional funds were announced in the autumn statement to help railway infrastructure. I hope that some of that might filter through to her constituency and reduce some of the problems she has mentioned.
