Mr. Chidgey

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will take steps to persuade private wagon owners to join the claims, handling and allocation arrangements operated by Railway Claims Ltd. [8084]

Mr. Watts

The Rail Regulator published a consultation document in August 1996, about insurance against third party liability, a copy of which was placed in the Library. He intends to initiate a group to explore the railway claims handling and third party liability issues raised by the operation of private wagons.
