Railways: Network Rail
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock asked Her Majesty’s Government:
Whether they will review Network Rail’s corporate governance.
during the Question....
Lord Faulkner of Worcester: My Lords, following on from his previous answer, does my noble friend agree that the principal criterion against which the governance of Network Rail should be judged is whether it is capable of delivering the investment in infrastructure which the growing demand for rail travel is making necessary; and whether, at the same time, it is capable of convincing the Government that that investment needs support? Does he further agree that, whatever the shortcomings of Network Rail are today, it is a whole heap better than Railtrack, which preceded it?
