Anne Main secures debate on Network Rail
17th January 2012
After leading the proposal for a debate on Network Rail to the Backbench Business Committee it has been confirmed that Anne has secured a debate on Network Rail in February. Anne has been consistently holding Network Rail to account; the most recent figures revealed that 63% of delays on First Capital Connect were a direct result of Network Rail’s failings.
On securing the debate Anne said:
“I know that my constituents and passengers all over the country have suffered from a poor rail service for far too long. As the figures show, Network Rail is at the heart of this poor service. Network Rail’s failings have got so severe that they have breached their franchising licence. It is high time we had a debate on Network Rail and 27 Members of Parliament from all three major parties support me on this. I am pleased that the Backbench Business Committee has decided to allocate this debate and I look forward to hearing the views of all Members of the House on this important issue”.
The debate is scheduled for Thursday 2nd February at 2:30-5:30 and will be led by Anne.
