Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to publish a list of any outstanding safety recommendations from the Rail Accident Investigation Branch, along with the planned implementation date for each of the outstanding recommendations.

The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) publishes a list of all its outstanding recommendations in its annual report. Those in receipt of RAIB recommendations must respond within three months with their plans and timescales for implementation or, if no action is planned, with their reasons. It is then for the Office of Rail and Road, as the independent rail safety regulator, to ensure these recommendations are duly considered and, where appropriate, acted on.
