Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish the contractual arrangements between Network Rail, Southeastern and DfT Operator Limited which enable the formation of a single leadership team for Southeastern and the Kent Route of Network Rail; and if not, what are the reasons for that decision.

Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

The Department is not a party to the contractual arrangements between Network Rail and Southeastern and cannot therefore comment on publication.

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions, if any, they have had since January with trades unions representing railway workers about harmonising pay and conditions as between employees of formerly privately-owned train-operating companies.

Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

The Secretary of State has not met with the rail trade unions to discuss changes to pay and conditions. These matters are for employers to discuss with their union representatives, regardless of whether publicly or privately owned.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have had discussions with the government of Nigeria concerning recent attacks on Christian communities in Benue State, and what steps they are taking (1) to support the protection of communities, and (2) to promote religious freedom in Nigeria.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development)

Intercommunal violence has a devastating effect on communities. The root causes are complex and frequently relate to competition over resources, historical grievances, and criminality.  We are supporting Nigeria to tackle these root causes through our Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria (SPRiNG) programme and continue to engage in local and national peace-building efforts. British High Commission officials met with government representatives, traditional rulers and stakeholders across civil society in Benue State in July 2025.

The UK-Nigeria Security and Defence Partnership (SDP) is building capacity in Nigeria's security forces to tackle violence against all civilian communities, including religious communities. The former Minister for Africa discussed intercommunal violence with Nigerian ministers and officials during his visit in May 2025. Our officials in Abuja continue to engage with the Nigerian government and religious leaders on freedom of religion and belief.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government when the Common Travel Area Forum most recently discussed passport-free direct air travel between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Common Travel Area (CTA) allows British and Irish citizens to travel freely between the UK and Ireland and reside in either jurisdiction. It also facilitates the enjoyment of associated rights and privileges including the right to work to study and to access social security benefits and health services.

The UK and Ireland have a close and collaborative working relationship on a range of issues, including migration and border security. That collaboration includes a joint commitment to protect the Common Travel Area (CTA) from abuse while preserving the rights of British and Irish citizens.
