To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with the Department for Transport on devolving full rail powers to the Scottish Government.
This question was answered on 5th December 2016
The Scottish Government is responsible for rail services and infrastructure investment in Scotland. The further devolution of rail powers was not a recommendation of the cross-party Smith Commission agreement.
