Rail Infrastructure: Wales

Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 May 2023. It occurred during Debate on Rail Infrastructure: Wales.

If I can make a technical point, does the right hon. Lady accept that because the UK Government have not invested in rail enhancement, maintenance costs have risen and the productivity of the lines has fallen? We have ended up in a situation whereby the Welsh Government pay the bills by taking money from other needs, such as health, to make up for the lack of investment by the UK Government, with the net effect that there is less money and lower productivity for the poorer nation, which is disgraceful.
