§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions he has held during the past 12 months with his EC counterparts with a view to upgrading railway services through Wales, as part of his transport infrastructure links between Ireland and the rest of Europe; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. FreemanI last discussed these issues with the Irish Minister of Transport and Tourism, Mr. Lyons, on 6 July 1991. At last December's EC Council of Ministers, the Commission tabled a paper on European transport infrastructure networks, which will be the subject of future discussions between member states.
