18. Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what Government financial incentives there are to encourage freight on the railways in(a) England and (b) Wales; and if he will make a statement. [125451]

Mr. McNulty

Grants are available from the Strategic Rail Authority and the National Assembly for Wales to enable companies to move freight by rail instead of road where this is justified by environmental benefits.
