HL Deb 12 October 2004 vol 665 c58WA
Lord Berkeley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Consequent to the forthcoming closure of the Strategic Rail Authority, which organisation is responsible for sponsoring Transport and Works Application Orders for rail projects; and to whom applications should be addressed within that organisation. [HL4292]

Lord Davies of Oldham

The Strategic Rail Authority retains its responsibilities for such orders. Enquiries relating to the functions performed by the SRA in respect of these orders should continue to be addressed to James Lough at the SRA's head office at 55 Victoria Street, London SW1H OEU. Decisions have yet to be taken about the future discharge of these responsibilities.
