Ms Glenda Jackson
My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State discussed property in British Rail (BR) ownership with the Chairman of the BR Board soon after taking office. Officials discuss with Rail Property Ltd. (RPL) any such sites which are brought to their attention as having possible future rail freight use. RPL informs Railtrack and industry members of such sites available for sale.
