Railways: Scotland
(asked on 29th November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of devolving full rail powers to the Scottish Government.
This question was answered on 7th December 2016
The Scottish Ministers already have substantial devolved powers in relation to the railways in Scotland. These have recently been supplemented through the Government’s delivery of the recommendations of the cross-party Smith Commission in full. We have no plans to go beyond this.
