INVESTMENT IN RAILWAYS

Early day motion 419, tabled 14 January 2004 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 21 members.

That this House notes the substantial underfunding of the railways throughout the United Kingdom; recognises that increasing numbers of people are using rail as a means of commuting to and from work; further recognises that main arterial routes and motorways will become more congested over the next few years, with the increase in car ownership; and calls for a radical overhaul and reinvestment programme for the railways to make United Kingdom rail travel among the best in Europe.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, Liberal Democrat 7, DUP 3, Plaid Cymru 1, UUP 1.
