HC Deb 03 March 1999 vol 326 c739W
Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when he will publish legislation to establish the proposed Strategic Rail Authority. [74419]

Dr. Reid

If legislative time becomes available, we will introduce a Bill to establish a Strategic Rail Authority this session. If time does not become available, then we will publish a draft Bill later this Session, for introduction as a priority at a subsequent opportunity.
