Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of Transport Focus; and if he will make a statement.

The Government is committed to ensuring that the interests of transport users are at the heart of transport policy. Transport Focus plays an important and effective role in actioning this using its evidence-based campaigning and research to influence decisions and drive change to get the best outcomes for passengers and road users. Ministers and officials meet regularly with Transport Focus to discuss a range of issues including its performance against the objectives set out in its annual workplan.
