Debate
English Devolution and Community Empowerment BillContribution
I turn to railway integration. Our integrated transport strategy is due shortly and the noble Baroness will know that the long-term rail strategy will come forward as part of rail reform and the Railways Bill. These documents will shape the remit and priorities of GBR, and integrated transport networks will be a top priority. This includes precisely the matters set out in the noble Baroness’s amendment. I assure the noble Baroness that they will be very much part of GBR’s remit. Further, GBR must have regard to local transport plans and therefore must engage with local leaders on their visions for integrated regional transport networks, including shared cycles and micromobility.
