Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Viscount Tenby (Crossbench). It was answered on Thursday, 15 March 2012.


Railways: Level Crossings

Question
My Lords, is the Minister satisfied that the legislation regarding people who deliberately flout the regulations on level crossings is sufficiently draconian?
Answer

My Lords, the noble Viscount's question links in very well with that of the noble Lord, Lord Faulkner. It is of course a very serious motoring offence to zigzag around the barriers, but you need to have the evidence to prosecute. The noble Viscount makes a good point, and that is what we are working on.
