Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what recent representations he has made to the Secretary of State for the Environment concerning improved rail transport in Wales; and if he will make a statement. [107420]

Mr. Paul Murphy

I have regular contact with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions to discuss a range of issues. In particular I have discussed with him and with the Minister for Transport how we can ensure that Welsh interests are properly reflected on the face of the Transport Bill.
