RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE

Early day motion 1817, tabled 27 October 2003 by Harry Cohen (Labour). Signed by 33 members.

That this House welcomes the announced policy of Network Rail of bringing all infrastructure maintenance in-house, ending the practice of contracting this work to outside companies; notes that this seems to make the maintenance arrangements for London Underground anomalous; and urges the Government to ensure that Transport for London is given the power to co-ordinate fully the maintenance of the Underground.
