Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

The project itself was planned to start in April 2026, with funding through to March 2030, but given the tragic incident—again, this goes to the point that my noble friend mentioned—on the train at Huntingdon on 1 November, the Department for Transport is now looking to accelerate delivery of that £17 million project and it will do so. In a sense, I hope that the legislative point has been answered by the executive decisions taken by the Department for Transport to fund those issues.
