HC Deb 03 February 1992 vol 203 c35W
Mr. Wigley

To 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. Freeman

I 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.
