question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether their strategy for rolling stock specifies the need for new diesel rolling stock to serve the rail lines not specified for electrification, and if so, how will they ensure that an adequate supply of new diesel rolling stock is manufactured and procured.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL6016
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2016 answer text <p>The success of the railways today, with additional services, greater passenger demand and significant Government investment, means that there will be a need for the future deployment of new or cascaded diesel units.</p><p> </p><p>We believe that the franchising programme delivers the best solution for bidders to specify rolling stock to meet the required outputs. A proportion of the available quality points from the franchise evaluation are dedicated to plans for rolling stock. This means that bidders have every incentive to look for solutions, including new, when providing trains for a franchise.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 15/02/2016 12:22:35 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
