Amend Section 4 entirely to read:

4(a) The Secretary of State shall establish a monitoring and reporting framework by order of secondary legislation to track the process of railway connectivity improvements and modal shift objectives outlined in this Act.

4(b) Pursuant to point 4(a) orders by secondary legislation shall be subject to negative procedure.

4(c) Regular reports shall conducted by the Department for Transport following each development stage, and shall be presented to Parliament where the reports shall—

(i) summarise the progress made at each development stage,

(ii) summarise the challenges faced,

(iii) detail the ongoing and further plans regarding railway connections and modal shifts, and

(iv) make recommendations on the evolving needs of the transport sector.

4(d) The Secretary of State in response to the report mentioned in point 4(c) shall—

(i) review and update the investment plan where deemed necessary to align with the findings of the Departmental report, and

(ii) review and update policy strategies where deemed necessary to align with the findings of the Departmental report.

EN: Revises the monitoring and reporting section to simply make it more effective and detailed than the current vague state. Furthermore allows the devolved framework for monitoring and reporting to be done by secondary legislation to which the current state does not specify.
