Rail Safety Recommendations: Backlog

Contribution

I thank the Minister. The latest published list of safety recommendations from RAIB shows outstanding items dating all the way back to 2008 which have not yet been implemented. The Department for Transport told me that ensuring action on this list is the responsibility of the regulator, the Office of Rail and Road, but the regulator told me otherwise and disclaimed responsibility for managing some of that list. Can the Minister please set out the Government’s plans to resolve what is clearly an unhelpful, and perhaps even worrying, discrepancy between what the department and the regulator think about who is responsible for what?
