Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 April 2026

Debate

Rail Safety Recommendations: Backlog

Contribution

My Lords, it is for the Rail Accident Investigation Branch and the Office of Rail and Road to monitor recommendations. We are aware of 117 outstanding recommendations of the more than 1,800 made since RAIB was formed. The vast majority of RAIB recommendations are closed within five years. However, some will require a significant programme of work to be completed across multiple organisations and therefore will be open for longer.
