Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what assessment he has made of the potential growth in demand for sleeper services between the north of England and(a) London and (b) the Continent. [16169]

Mr. Jamieson

No formal assessment has been made. We would expect the railway industry to come forward with proposals to meet demands for new services.
