Voting on the motion and amendments under this item was deferred until Voting Time.

A vote was taken on the motion without amendment:

NDM5952 Elin Jones (Ceredigion)

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Welcomes the UK Government's intention to devolve the specification and procurement of the next Wales and Borders rail franchise.

2. Notes with alarm the UK Government's intention to remove some services from that franchise prior to its devolution.

3. Notes that such a restriction does not and has not applied to rail franchising with respect to Scotland.

4. Believes that radically re-drawing the service map of the Wales and Borders franchise would undermine the devolution of transport functions and harm the interests of rail passengers in Wales and the Borders.
