Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether Great British Railways will be required to publish an annual environmental performance report.

We expect that GBR will include detail in their annual report and accounts as Network Rail do today, and for GBR to comply with all legal requirements. We remain committed to addressing the environmental challenges faced not only by rail – which is already a comparatively low-emission way to travel – but across all transport modes.
