Railways: Safety
Asked by: Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party - Aberdeen North) Wednesday 15th January 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the impact of the Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill on safety on trains. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Act 2024 makes no changes to existing roles and responsibilities regarding safety or tackling crime and anti-social behaviour. As such, there is no reason to expect any adverse impacts. The Government expects publicly owned train operators to focus relentlessly on the interests of passengers rather than shareholders, resulting in better outcomes for passengers across a range of areas, which will include personal security on trains.

Railways: Gender Based Violence
Asked by: Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party - Aberdeen North) Wednesday 15th January 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has a strategy for tackling violence against women and girls on trains after the passage of the Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) Tackling violence against women and girls is a priority for the Government. We have set the ambitious target to halve this figure in the next decade using every lever available to us. The Department is working closely with the central mission delivery unit in the Cabinet Office to achieve the aims set out in the Government’s Safer Streets mission.
The British Transport Police will continue to police the rail network following the transition of passenger services into public ownership to prevent and investigate crime, and in particular to tackle violence against women and girls.

Railways: Gender Based Violence
Asked by: Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party - Aberdeen North) Wednesday 15th January 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of lighting on trains on the levels of violence against women and girls travelling on the network. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The National Travel Attitudes Survey on perceptions of safety when walking, cycling and using public transport, found that a ‘poorly lit vehicle or carriage’ was the joint seventh most popular reason for feeling unsafe when travelling on a public transport vehicle. The Rail Safety and Standards Board sets requirements around lighting for new rolling stock. We continue to work with the rail industry including the Rail Delivery Group and the British Transport Police to ensure the rail network remains a safe environment for the travelling public.

Equal Pay: Social Class
Asked by: Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party - Aberdeen North) Wednesday 15th January 2025 Question To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps her Department is taking to measure links between differences in pay and the socioeconomic background of employees. Answered by Anneliese Dodds - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) We are committed to delivering better life chances for all - breaking the link between background and success. At the Budget, the Chancellor announced increases to both the National Minimum Wage (16.3% for those aged 18-20) and the National Living Wage (6.7% for those 21 and over), as well as a £240 million Get Britain Working package to improve support for people who want to develop their careers (as well as for those who are economically inactive or unemployed).Through our Mission-driven Government, we will build the skills people need for opportunity and growth. The Government will continue to draw on the work of the Office for National Statistics and others, such as the independent Social Mobility Commission, to understand the links between pay and socio-economic background.
