HC Deb 09 June 1997 vol 295 cc317-8W
Mr. Colvin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when he last held meetings with representatives of Railtrack plc; and if he will make a statement. [2697]

My right hon. Friend the Deputy Prime Minister met the chairman of Railtrack on 21 May. The Government have made it clear that we expect higher levels of investment in the network. We are considering whether the current regulatory regime is strong enough to secure that.
