Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill, 31 Jul 2024
As part of preparing for the introduction of the Railways Bill, the Department will review the powers and duties of the Office of Rail and Road that relate to rail. We expect ORR's role in safety regulation and in monitoring National Highways to continue.
