Can IPC confirm which Secretary of State will deal with this type [Rail Freight Interchange] of NSIP.

Advice given

For DIRFT III proposals the relevant Secretary of State would be the Secretary of State for Transport. The basis for IPC stating that when the Secretary of State is the decision-maker this will be the relevant Secretary of State is paragraphs 18 and 19 of the DCLG Major Infrastructure Planning Reform: Work plan published in December 2010. This can be found on the DCLG website: http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/mipworkplan
