Written question asked by Baroness Hanham (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Adonis (Labour) on Tuesday, 5 January 2010.


Railways: Passengers' Rights

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether United Kingdom legislation contains provisions equivalent to those contained in the European Union regulation on rail passengers' rights and obligations (1371/2007).
Answer

The core elements of the European Union regulation provide relatively little in the way of new protections which are not already provided by domestic legislation or by regulatory requirements within the rail industry. The non-core elements of the regulation largely provide protections which are ancillary to those in existing domestic legislation.
