Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2026

Debate

Railways Bill

Contribution

Finally, on Amendments 208 and 339, I welcome the noble Baroness, Lady Leaman, to the contemplation of the Railways Act. Good luck with that. In particular, she raised automatic Delay Repay compensation. We share the objective of making compensation as simple and accessible as possible for passengers. The scheme is one of the most generous in Europe. We have already made progress to improve the ease with which passengers can claim Delay Repay, with the majority of operators now offering automated one-click compensation.
