This is not a new issue and I know my noble friend Lord Faulkner has championed this for a number of years, particularly through proposing Private Members’ Bills on a number of occasions to repeal or amend the 1920 Act. The last time, in 2022, the Bill received much support from this House and, although it did not progress further, there was a commitment from the Government to support the Heritage Railway Association in refreshing its guidance. Despite that offer being made, as far as we can tell, the Heritage Railway Association has not yet taken it up.
