Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 27 February 2020 to Question 19851 on the Rail Review, on what date the Williams Rail Review was delivered to his Department; and for what reason the Government has not made a statement on that Review.

The Williams Rail Review’s recommendations are currently being finalised by their independent chair, Keith Williams, working with the Department. We intend to publish these recommendations before the summer recess as a government white paper to allow us to implement the reforms as soon as possible.
