HC Deb 15 March 2001 vol 364 cc683-4W
Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to acquire(a) a stake in and (b) additional powers over Railtrack plc. [153943]

Mr. Hill

The Transport Act 2000 has strengthened the regulation and accountability of Railtrack. The Rail Regulator rigorously enforces Railtrack's network licence obligations and has proposed new licence conditions.
