<title>Network Rail Infrastructure Maintenance</title>
<proposer id="10494">Lawrie Quinn</proposer>
<date>2003-10-27</date>
<text>That this House welcomes Network Rail's decision to bring all infrastructure maintenance contracts in-house, ending the practice of contracting this work to outside parties; believes bringing railway maintenance in-house will help control costs, improve safety standards and performance; notes that, for the first time since privatisation the railway network will have an integrated, national maintenance programme; and offers its support to the staff and management of Network Rail in their continuing efforts to improve the safety, punctuality and efficiency of Britain's railways.</text>
