Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord McCrea of Magherafelt and Cookstown (Democratic Unionist Party). It was answered on Tuesday, 11 July 2006 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Railways (Vandalism)

Question
I am sure that the Minister will agree that combating vandalism on railways and at railway stations is a problem not only in England and Scotland, but throughout the United Kingdom. May I therefore encourage him to speak to his colleagues in the Northern Ireland Office, to ensure that the problem is dealt with in Northern Ireland as well, because there is no other forum by which we can deal with the situation and ensure that our passengers feel safe at railway stations?
Answer

I am happy, of course, to bring the hon. Gentleman’s comments to the attention of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
