HC Deb 21 October 2003 vol 411 c475W
14. Mr. Key

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of proposals by train operating companies to install television in railway carriages. [132973]

Mr. McNulty

Television may be installed in railway carriages for either onboard entertainment or security purposes. The first is a commercial matter for operators. CCTV for security purposes has already been installed by some operators and the Department is working with the Strategic Rail Authority to continue to improve security on trains.
