Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 April 2026

Debate

Rail Safety Recommendations: Backlog

Contribution

I will endeavour to write to the noble Baroness about the detail of that, but there is a particular focus on private land and how we can make sure that safety notices are put up and maintained. There is nothing worse than having a safety notice but with trees growing across it, for example. This is absolutely critical and, as she rightly highlights, it is a real weakness. We need to be very vigilant and address it where we can.
