Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans publish a white paper on the future of UK railways.
The Government is committed to reforms that deliver a railway that is focused on passengers, with reliable, safe services on a network built around them. We have now ended the franchising system, paving the way for the wider reforms which will be set out in the Williams Review White Paper. We will publish this as soon as the course of the Covid-19 pandemic allows.
