Mr. Gwilym Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to examine the new European rail technology being developed by Powell Duffryn Standard Limited.
Mr. Freeman
BR plans to use low-platform wagon technology for channel tunnel freight services, and I am taking a close interest in the development of this new rolling stock. My hon. Friend the Member for Derbyshire, West (Mr. McLoughlin) visited Powell Duffryn in Cardiff last September, and I hope to visit their recently acquired French operation in April.
