Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 September 2026

Debate

Railways Bill

Contribution

Amendment 62, I am afraid, confuses the funding settlement with the access framework. In reality, the expertise about what specific incentives should be set for different operators on different routes is within the railway industry. GBR, in collaboration with industry, should create the performance scheme, not the Secretary of State.
