Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress his Department has made on developing proposals for the Transport Bill announced in the Queen's Speech 2022; and what next steps he plans to take to progress that Bill.

The Transport Bill announced in the Queen’s speech, brings together the primary legislative measures required to deliver the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail and keep the UK at the global forefront of transport innovation.

The Department published a public consultation on the primary legislative changes that are proposed to meet the commitments in the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail on 9 June 2022.

Public consultations on the Future of Transport measures have taken place and the Government will publish responses to those consultations shortly.
