Debate

Railways Bill

Contribution

In conclusion, the Government remain committed to addressing the environmental challenges that we face and the provisions in this Bill will ensure that the railways continue to support the Government’s targets on climate change, air quality and decarbonisation. I, of course, concur with my noble friend Lord Liddle that we should not load the Bill, or indeed GBR as an organisation, with a huge amount of statutory duties when there is sufficient in the Bill to ensure that the organisation does the right thing in any event. I encourage noble Lords not to press their amendments.
