Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary commit to discussing with the UK Government the devolution of rail infrastructure to Wales in the near future?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Transport and North Wales
I have already had a positive meeting with the new Secretary of State for Transport and I will be meeting with the new Rail Minister very soon. I have already set out that my priorities for rail reform alongside our longstanding call for the full devolution of rail infrastructure and services along with a fair funding settlement. I am looking forward to working in close partnership with the UK Government to deliver genuine rail reform that benefits passengers in Wales.
