Debate
Railways BillContribution
We support Amendment 129 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Willis of Summertown, to which I have added my name. It would require GBR to publish an annual report on how railway land supports local nature recovery strategies, wildlife corridors and clean energy generation through rooftop and car park solar. Railway land is a natural asset. Linear corridors connect fragmented habitats, and vast underused surfaces can be used for solar. This amendment would mandate not specific projects but transparency and accountability.
