§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the red/green zone working group report from Her Majesty's railways inspectorate on track safety—recommendation 6(h)—with particular reference to the conflict between the safe system of work for track workers and penalty repayments for the delays to trains.

§ Mr. WattsI understand that the Health and Safety Executive's railway inspectorate is following up its report with Railtrack plc. I am confident that HSE and Railtrack will ensure that safety is not compromised.
