Rail Infrastructure Maintenance

EDM number 1817 in 2002-03, proposed by Harry Cohen on 27/10/2003.

That this House welcomes the announced policy of Network Rail of bringing all infrastructure maintenance in-house, ending the practice of contracting this work to outside companies; notes that this seems to make the maintenance arrangements for London Underground anomalous; and urges the Government to ensure that Transport for London is given the power to co-ordinate fully the maintenance of the Underground.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
