Motion Text
That this House welcomes the decision by Network Rail to take over Jarvis rail maintenance contracts; notes that 40 per cent. of rail maintenance will now be under the control of Network Rail; believes bringing railway maintenance in-house will help control costs, improve the standards of safety and reduce the disastrous fragmentation of the rail industry; and urges the Government to ensure that all railway maintenance is brought under the direct control of Network Rail at the earliest opportunity.
