To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure the implementation of the (a) recommendations and (b) learning points set out in the Rail Accident Report: Collision at London Waterloo,15 August 2017, published the Rail Accident Investigation Branch in November 2018.

-
Responsibility for rail network safety rests with Network Rail and the Office of Road and Rail (ORR) - not the Department - but we will support our delivery partners by ensuring they continue to be adequately funded to deliver a safe and reliable rail network. I am advised that the ORR is working closely with Network Rail to ensure they are addressing the recommendations in the report.
