Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what discussions his Department has had with the Department of Transport on the health effects of travelling on public transport during hot weather.

The Cabinet Office-run Summer Resilience Network provides a mechanism for understanding and coordinating the preparations put in place nationally for the summer period, by departments and other bodies, and provides a valuable forum to raise issues of concern. The network meets every two weeks between June and September, unless required to meet more frequently. Officials from the Department of Health and the Department for Transport attend this network.
