Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reasons findings and recommendations of the Williams Rail Review have not yet been published.
The Department remains committed to delivering wholescale reform of the rail sector to put the priorities of passengers first.
The Williams Rail Review was in the final stages of drafting at the outbreak of COVID-19. The Government views the purpose of the reforms as important as ever, but further work needs to be done now to reflect the impact of COVID-19 on the sector. We are progressing with this work.
