§ Norman Baker
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what mechanisms exist to ensure the recommendations of the south-coast multi-modal study are implemented, where implementation falls to(a) private rail companies and (b) county councils. [5483]

§ Mr. Jamieson
The multi-modal studies provide an opportunity to identify integrated and sustainable solutions to some of the most pressing problems on our strategic transport network. The study process itself is designed to ensure that strategies are developed with key stakeholders so that they reflect the priorities of each and are genuinely deliverable.
