Labour calls for Network Rail execs to forfeit their bonuses

Friday 3rd February 2012, 3:20am

POLITICIANS have called for the directors of Network Rail to turn down their bonuses.

Tom Harris MP yesterday tabled a motion, signed by 27 other Labour politicians, urging chief executive Sir David Higgins and other directors to reject any bonus payments after the rail watchdog ORR censured the group for “major asset failures, congested routes and poor management of track conditions”.

But transport minister Norman Baker said the government had “extremely limited” powers to step in.
