Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to establish Great British Railways.

Whilst we will not be taking forward primary legislation on rail reform in this session due to pressures on Parliamentary time, the Great British Railways Transition Team is already in place.

We are continuing to work with the sector to tackle the challenges set out in the Plan for Rail, including improving online retail for the benefit of customers and other areas for reform which do not require primary legislation to be undertaken.
