To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how he proposes to encourage passenger and freight traffic to move from road to rail; and if he will make a statement. [32929]
Mr. Gwilym Jones
The Government's programme for transferring the railways to the private sector will result in improved and more attractive services. Freight facilities grants are available to encourage the transfer of freight from road to rail or inland waterway where this would provide significant environmental benefits.
