3. What assessment he has made of the effect of the UK leaving the EU on the rail industry.

[The Secretary of State for Transport (Chris Grayling)]

The Government’s rail sector report was published in December and included an analysis of the rail industry. We keep our analysis under constant review. Our future relationship with the EU on rail will be a matter for the negotiations. Both the UK and the EU have greatly benefited from investment in each other’s rail markets. We want that to continue as the UK leaves the EU.
